Probe continues in death of three in jammed ice box
Walnut Ridge Arkansas prosecutors and sheriff investigate the deaths of three children found jammed in a small unused four by four foot icebox at a rural home. Funeral services were held for the children at a rural schoolhouse with about 3,500 attending. The two younger children James Delhert Chastain and Shirley Ramsey died of suffocation. Joyce Ann Chastain died the following day. Authorities question how the children could have locked themselves inside. A coroner’s jury found suffocation as the cause for the two younger victims and did not render a verdict on the older child.
