Natural Causes? Bullet Holes Change Minds
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: February 26, 2009
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Police and medical examiners who thought a Kansas City, Mo., man died of natural causes have changed their minds — after funeral-home workers found bullet holes in his head.
The Kansas City Star reported Thursday that three bullet wounds — two of them in Anthony Crockett's head — were noticed after the man's body was embalmed Friday. The 49-year-old's body was then sent to the medical examiner and the death was ruled a homicide.
Detectives and Jackson County medical examiners never visited Crockett's home to inspect his body. A paramedic told police he believed the death was natural after finding prescriptions containers for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes in the home.
A county spokesman said the case "is being looked into."
