Woman found dead in Ed Testina Garcia case detailed

Testina Garcia aged 50 residing at 608 Zavallo Street was found dead at home at 6 30 last evening by her husband Francisco Garcia who had gone to call a physician.

The coroner suspects natural causes but cannot determine age related factors and will await physician reports this afternoon before a verdict. The husband found her seemingly in serious condition when he arrived home around 5 30 and again at 6 30 discovered her dead.
