     ACCORDING TO INITIAL POLICE INVESTIGATION: ON JULY 17, 1996 THE DECEASED WAS AT HOME UPSTAIRS WATCHING TELEVISION.  WHEN HE DID NOT COME DOWN FOR LUNCH HIS WIFE BECAME CONCERNED AND WENT UPSTAIRS.  SHE FOUND THE DECEASED LYING FACE DOWN UNDER THE TELEVISION CABINET AND HE WAS BLEEDING FROM HIS HEAD.
     AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN HIM OVER FIRE RESCUE WAS CALLED.  UPON ARRIVAL THE DECEASED WAS REMOVED FROM UNDER THE CABINET AND NOTICED TO BE UNRESPONSIVE.  THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLOOD FOR A FACIAL CUT.  IT APPEARED HE SUFFERED A CARDIAC ARREST WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY BLOOD WAS NOT PUMPING OUT OF THE HEAD WOUND.  
     THE DECEASED WAS UNDER THE CARE OF DR. SABATES (443-9342) WHO TREATED THE DECEASED FOR HYPERTENSION UNDER CONTROL AND DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE FOR WHICH HE UNDERWENT KNEE SURGERY AT COLUMBIA KENDALL MEDICAL CENTER AND DR. PALMEROLA (448-4500) FOR BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY.
