Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
Mr. Moore had several health issues. Mr. Moore was placed in hospice care at Angel Brite Hospice in Corpus
Christi Texas without needing the presence of a guard. Our agency was contacted by the hospice center who
advised us of Mr. Moores passing. Mr. Moores body was taken to the Nueces County Medical Examiners
Office for evaluation.
Deputy Medical Examiner Diane-Ngan H. Trang MD report approved by Chief Medical Examiner Rajesh P.
Kannan MD. Conclusion: It is our opinion, based on the available investigative information and postmortem
examination findings, that Roger W. Moore, an 82 year old male, died as the result of complications of
dementia with cardiovascular disease status post coronary artery bypass graft. Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and atrial fibrillation are considered
contributory. Texas Ranger Samuel "Cody" Lankford has closed his investigation as a natural cause death
after conferring with Nueces County District Attorney Jimmy Granberry who was satisfied with the
investigation into the death. This case will be closed on our end as well.
