So sad. I have a feeling he went to see to his wife and say "I am coming" and then committed suicide. Although at 85 and a dementia diagnosis, maybe he knew just what he wanted.

Oh this is awful!

Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn says Dwight Newton was found dead in a cistern. He thinks Newtown fell into it and died of his injuries.

The cistern had very little water in it, so Ginn says Newton did not drown. Ginn says Newton had visited his mother’s gravesite and was visiting an area along Military Pike where he used to live at the time of his fall.
