Autopsy
shows man who shot officers had drugs in
body
FORT WORTH, Texas An autopsy reports shows a
man who fatally shot a Grand Prairie police
officer in June had marijuana and
antidepressants in his body. Timothy Joe
Irwin killed police Sergeant Gregory Hunter and
wounded officer Bruce Seix on June 18th as they
checked out his van in a Wal-Mart parking lot in
Grand Prairie.
Seix returned fire and killed the
42-year-old Irwin, whose body was discovered
seven hours later when a tactical unit stormed
the van.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's
Office says toxicology tests show marijuana, an
anti-anxiety drug and antidepressants in Irwin's
system.
Irwin had received a medical discharge
and disability pay from the Navy, which police
say was because of knee and back injuries.
Police say Irwin lied when he told friends he
had cancer in his back and lungs.
