Autopsy reports awaited by county officials
Final results of two autopsies conducted more than two weeks ago have not yet been received. Coroner Dr. Robert Butts says a toxicology report from an Ohio State University lab is missing for Gordon Kyle, 33, Gallipolis, who died after a scuffle at Athens Mental Health Center where he was a patient. Investigations were handled by the Athens County Sheriff's department and the Ohio Highway Patrol. A second autopsy, including a toxicology report on Randy Berzon, 20, Canton, was conducted November 19 at Hamilton County Coroner's office in Cincinnati, with no information reaching Dearorff or Dr. Butts three weeks later.
