Tests show police officer did not die from antifreeze

CUMMING, Ga. - A law enforcement officer who once worked with a woman linked to two men poisoned by antifreeze did not die of poisoning but from a heart attack, authorities said. <br> <br> An autopsy showed that Maj. Ronald J. Casper of the Forsyth County Sheriff&#39;s Office suffered from coronary artery disease, Ted Bailey of the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner&#39;s Office said Thursday. <br> <br> Casper, 46, had been in poor health, and doctors had blamed his 1999 death on respiratory failure without performing an autopsy. Gwinnett authorities exhumed the body in November after investigations were reopened into the deaths of Cobb County police Officer Glenn Turner, who died in 1995 at 31, and Forsyth County firefighter Randy Thompson, who died last year at 32. <br> <br> Both men had been romantically involved with Lynn Turner, a former Cobb County 911 operator. Their deaths initially were blamed on heart disease, but autopsies later found them to be caused by ethylene glycol, the chemical in antifreeze. <br> <br> No charges have been filed, and Lynn Turner&#39;s lawyer has said he is confident that none will be. Turner, who refuses to comment on the case, once worked as Casper&#39;s administrative assistant. She had not worked with him for more than a year before he died. <br> <br>
