Autopsy Slated In Death Here
Possible aggravation by the severely cold weather conditions is the tentative ruling in the death of an elderly Alabama City resident sometime last night. County Coroner, Noble Yocum, told The Times that Journey E. Adkison, 71, Charles Street, Alabama City, was found dead at his residence 9:30 a.m. today by relatives. Adkison was last seen in the business district of Alabama City Wednesday afternoon, Yocum said. The coroner said Adkison apparently went home that night and did not leave. He said evidence points to the possibility that Adkison became ill during last night. The man lived alone, Yocum said. From appearances Adkison had been in bed, Yocum said, but her was lying on the floor. Yocum said a toxicologist will be called and an autopsy will be performed.
