RUBATEX DEATH `NOT SUSPICIOUS'

Police say a Rubatex supervisor who died Friday afternoon after being found unconscious in a warehouse may have died of natural causes.

Bedford Police Chief Milton Graham said Monday that he does not suspect foul play in the death of Hugh Lee Howell, 47, of Moneta. At first, police thought Howell might have died of a head wound, Graham said, but they later discovered that a laceration on Howell's chin was responsible for the blood they found.

"It doesn't look suspicious," Graham said. Autopsy results are due later this week.
