He was also only 5'1. I wonder if it was a combination of decomp and him actually being very thin - maybe some kind of neglect or illness going on?

RIP Jimmy.

I'm not sure if he's wearing earbuds or hearing aids in that photo? If he had bilateral hearing aids at 40 he might have had something congenital that led to him having a short stature. But those could totally be earbuds or even ear plugs - I can't keep up!

I haven't found a great deal of info on Kashuba, but I may not be looking in the right places. Anyone else have insights?

A Fayette County judge on Monday dismissed a manslaughter charge against a mother accused of fatally stabbing a man who attacked her in front of her kids, saying there was “no evidence to suggest she acted in anything other than self-defense.”

Jennifer Kashuba, 36, was indicted for charges of second-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence in the death of James “Jimmy” Medlock. Kashuba stabbed Medlock, hid his body in the closet for months, and later dumped him near a dumpster, according to court testimony and previous police statements.
