The grieving widow of a pennsylvania corrections officer fears she may never know what happened to her husband. Gravely injured inside the walls of the one states toughest prison shes come to fox 29 investigates for answers. Tonight jeff cole reports there are some serious questions about the death of david weaver. He was a funny guy. Reporter on a shelf in a small Montgomery County home he was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. Reporter mow moan toes of a life are placed with care. He wore his heart on his sleeve. Reporter they mark david weavers live, a husband, a dad, a navy veteran is goodman says his grieving widow. He just really enjoyed this family and his friends and really loved his job. Reporter his job was to patrol the toughest blocks in the state. Weaver was a prison guard in pennsylvanias big house, graterford maximum security prison. It was where he fell from injuries which later took his life. Five weeks today. So its still very fresh. Very raw. Reporter september 17th, 1 30 in the afternoon weaver, 59, with 13 years on the job is guarding dozens of inmates in outdoor yard. Suddenly he falls backwards striking his head against a concrete wall. According to an autopsy, his skull is fractured and the hemorrhaging is extensive. A prison nurse scams mince him and weaver is taken by ambulance to paoli hospital in Delaware County. Nine days later, hes dead. My husband went to work and never came home. I dont want that to happen to someone else and not be able to know and to live with the uncertainty i have to live with. Reporter tara weaver is right. She does not know exactly what happened to her husband. Inside the walls of graterford. In fact, no one can be certain. Because other than the inmates who were playing football at the time, fox 29 investigates has confirmed that weaver was all alone when he fell. And despite the department of corrections refusal to answer our questions on the topic weve also learned there was no Security Camera rolling either. In fact, there was no camera. Fox 29 learned of the death from tara weaver who came to us complaining she couldnt get answers. I think theyre just sweeping it away like it doesnt matter, and to me thats not acceptable. Reporter fox 29 has peaced together what happened from documents and interviews with state police, the Corrections Officers union and the department of corrections which refused to allow to us interview anyone on camera. Who are the witnesses in this case . Inmates. Theyre inmates. Theyre inmates. Thats the first concern i have. Reporter graterford is in state representative mike verebs district. He says he learn of the death after weavers fellow guards alerted him, and he is outraged he was alone in the yard. Im a little appalled that one corrections officer would be out there with multiple inmates. Reporter again, state corrections refused to provide an official to answer our questions on camera. In a statement a spokesperson wrote, weaver was seriously injured in trip and fall accident adding he stumbled on uneven ground between the sidewalk and the grass area and fell backwards hitting his head asked why weaver was alone in the yard corrections wrote, officer weaver was stationed in the single officer post. All doc institutions have single officer posts. This is not uncommon. In my 24 years of doing corrections, i have never walked in a yard by myself. Reporter jason bloom is the president of the Corrections Officers union. He says, single officer posts make guards sitting targets. Make my staff as save as you possibly can. If we had two people in the yard in this instance, we would know exactly what happened. Exactly. Reporter in that statement, corrections writes, weaver fell backwards while trying to avoid a flying football during a flag football game. It learned that from inmates in the yard willing to talk to investigators from the departments prison based safety team. Bloom argues inmates are not going to come clean if an attack can you occurred. Does that mean, then, this member of your union could have been killed . Could have been. He could have been knocked over. Could have been. Could have been pushed over, attacked. Absolute. No one will know that. No one. No. No one is going to know. Reporter remember fox 29 has confirmed from a Law Enforcement source there was no Security Camera trained on the yard. Corrections says, it does not discuss security measures. And theres one more thing. State police here at the skippack barracks are now investigating david weavers death. How did they learn of it . Not from the state department of corrections. Tara weaver told them of her husbands passing about 30 days after he hit his head when she realized corrections hadnt. She says she wanted objective investigators. Asked why state police were not alerted to the incident or the death corrections writes, we follow protocol by having the safety team investigate a workrelated injury. The departments own safety policy says, all individuals are to be interviewed as soon as possible after an accident. Tara weaver says, the state Police Investigator told her the inmates werent interviewed until four days later. Representative vereb says hell ask the states Inspector General to take a hard look. When you have an injury of this magnitude where theres one corrections officer an few dozen prisoners, i feel the state police should have been called when that gentleman was on the way to the hospital. Reporter tara weaver battles it her grief, her loss, and the unknown. I still dont have a hundred closure as to what really happened. I dont think i ever will. I still dope have my husband. Reporter state police based on what they now know believe that weavers death was an accident. The department of corrections has determined that he died in the line of duty. Corrections writes, it is deeply sorrowful for weavers death and extends its sympathies to his family. Graterford prison has twice released press releases when inmates have died.

So still a lot of work to do. Somehow, they have to figure a way out to really take their home game on the road. Fourzero at home. Onefour away from the linc everyone plays better at home, i know, but two totally different teams for some reason. I dont think the players really understand why. But they have to figure a way out to bring that energy to seattle. I did notice it was loud out there. It was sometimes hard for to us communicate on defense. I know thats affecting the offenses we play, um, and i think whenever our defense is playing lights out our team has really great really really good chance of winning. So i guess hats off to our fans. I think we kind of hear yall talk about us losing because all yall pick up to lose. I dont know, man, thats what im saying we needed to bring that energy that we brought in practice this week because it was a home game and take it and carry over to, you know, to these away games. To the sixers they finally got first within a couple games ago. But the sixers are still being the sixers that.

Drive to the rack. Step back, jumper. Look at that. Its just sweet or hell give you the fast break. Three ball. Its that easy for hardin. He had 23 points in the first quarter. Eight to eight from the field. The sixers never had a chance after that he ended with 33 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. Sixers lost 11588. To College Hoops number three Hill Villanova in tight one with 15th ranked perdue. Look at this perdue trying to tie it up with seconds left. Air ball right there. They get one last shot at it, but off the side of the backboard right there. Nova survives 7976. Nice early season top 25 win for the wildcats. To the flyers, goalie Michael Neuvirth were miss four oh six weeks with a lower body injuries. The goalies havent been playing too late whole ron hextall was glad to see a new goalie come up he didnt really like being asked that question. Were in the business of winning games. Not in trying players out or seeing new players or whatever. Its not as exciting for us as it maybe is for you. You guys always seem to want new body arc new face. Thats not our business. Our business hang o our business is winning games. Hack will put the best guy in the net that he feels has the best chance to give our team a chance to win. Tonight the nhl inducted eric lindros to the hall of fame. He played for the flyers for eight years, six all star appearances while being a flyers. Seven total and the league pat quinn who coached the flyer flyr years into the hall. I want to go back to the six Social Security and that james hardin. Real easy when you got a super star, okay. Real easy. Right now the sixers have zero. Joel embiid should become one right now unbelievable. We got hope, though. Lucy whats coming up at 11.
