Quote: "The pumper truck and a medic unit had been rushing to the 900 block of Withnell Avenue for a report of a "person down." The pumper truck responds routinely with a medic truck on calls like that. The pumper didn't make it to scene because it was stuck, but the medic unit got there in a hurry and the person was already dead, said Capt. Garon Mosby of the St. Louis Fire Department. Authorities say it appears the person died of natural causes..."
Note: Well, it LOOKED like natural causes anyway, but that doesn't mean it WAS natural causes. Hydrogen sulfide often kills without any sign of injury, just a corpse after someone drops dead. This area is right near the riverfront...
