Dr. Mark Wangler called 911 the morning of Labor Day in 2006. He said his wife was having a seizure and then stopped breathing.
Earlier testimony shows Kathy Wangler's body was taken by squad to Lima Memorial Health System within 40 minutes of the call. However, the emergency room doctor says Kathy's body was unlike most cardiac arrests she handles. Kathy Wangler's body was very cold, her neck was stiff, and her jaw tight. All signs which point to a timeline that doesn't add up.
Dr. Stein said she believed Kathy Wangler was dead for, "much longer."
Dr. Diana Barnett performed the autopsy. In her opinion Kathy had been dead for one to two hours before arriving at the E.R. which also doesn't match Dr. Wangler's 911 call.
"You don't seize when you're dead," said Barnett.
Forensic toxicologist, Dr. Robert Forney, says during the autopsy he found levels above the recommended amount of an antiseizure medicine Kathy was on. Which could cause a side effects like drowsiness.
Investigators from the Allen County Sheriff's Office also took the stand. Sgt. Phil Sherrick pointed out pictures of the bedroom Kathy was sleeping in-- specifically focusing on soot marks above a vent. The pictures hint at future testimony which could explain where the soot came from and the possible relationship of the marks to Kathy's death.
