ME rules Anderson death as an accident
The Dallas County Medical Examiner has ruled the cause of death for Zachary Anderson as an accident from the toxic effects of methamphetamine.
Bowie Police Lt. Randy Hanson said he received the final report on Monday and he informed Anderson’s family shortly thereafter. This case will be closed, ruled as an accidental death.
The body of the 38-year-old was found July 25 in a wooded area behind 424 Elba and he was believed to have been dead for several days.
Anderson, a 1999 graduate of Bowie High School, had lived in Bowie on and off the last several years according to police.
Anderson had been released from the Cooke County Jail on July 18 and police found witnesses who said he walked from Nocona to Bowie on a day when it was 117 degrees.
He had called someone for a ride, but that driver could not find him. Other people reported seeing him walking in town.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
