Head injury victim died of heart attack, brother says
A man who died Monday at El Centro Regional Medical Center after being found unconscious with a head injury in a driveway of the 400 block of Neckel Road actually died from a heart attack, according to a family member.
Russel Reeves left his job at Western Mesquite Mines early Monday about 8:15 a.m. after he reportedly began feeling ill, according to a family member who identified himself as his brother, Jarrad Reeves.
Jarrad Reeves said Russel took about two steps from his pickup after arriving home when he apparently collapsed and hit the back of his head, resulting in the head injury.
