Rest in power Brother Dan

Syl is back at home in AK. She says the trooper that responded was one of their neighbors. They checked the garbage for booze bottles and counted his remaining meds (he had back surgery about 4 months ago and was still in considerable pain).  After discussing it with the state medical examiner, they are calling it mostly likely as a heart issue.

I'm relieved that it wasn't suicide or misadventure. I've lost too many to those recently.
