Coroner reports driver died of cardiac arrest

Coroner Annie Pillers May 9 reported Christopher Brown, the Rosalia resident who was found dead at the scene of a one-car accident north of Tekoa last Friday, died of cardiac arrest. The finding was made after a coroner's investigation of the cause of death.

Pillers reported Brown had underlying heart disease.

A medical cause was suspected at the accident scene because the car Brown was driving did not sustain extensive damage.

Mr. Brown was driving northbound when he failed to negotiate a curve on Highway 27 just south of Fairbanks and went down an embankment where the car stopped short of Hangman Creek.
