The death of a mentally retarded patient at a state facility near Lynchburg in under investigation by State Police.

A second autopsy of 66-year-old William ``Doug'' Jones differs from the autopsy report done by the Central Virginia Training Center's doctor. An autopsy done by a state medical examiner shows Jones died from a blunt injury to the abdomen, caused by either a blow or a fall that ruptured the spleen. But an autopsy performed by the center's staff doctor said Jones died of pancreatitis. (pan-kree-uh-TYE-tus). Jones died in 19-99 after emergency surgery at a Lynchburg hospital.

They want attorney Barry Bruce to make up the 36-million dollars they say the resort is expected to lose because of the defeat.

Bruce says he's done nothing wrong and is looking forward to defending himself and discussing how the hotel ran its pro-casino campaign.
