Earlier today WANE TV posted a story at 2:31 pm today headlined "Man dies after Thursday fight in Auburn". The unnamed writer of the story gave all the pertinent facts in the case dutifully quoting the Auburn Police with all the appropriate details.
What is confusing are the last to 'graphs of the story included here: (screen capture not available as story was updated)
Following an autopsy conducted Friday by DeKalb County Coroner, Jeff
Warner, the deceased man was identified as Rex DePew Sr., of Auburn.
DePew's cause of death has not yet been determined pending toxicology
results.
Police said no charges have been filed in this case and names are being withheld pending notification of family members of the parties involved.
Police said no charges have been filed in this case and names are being withheld pending notification of family members of the parties involved.
They name the deceased, then in the next paragraph they revert to the "withheld pending notification of family members of
the parties involved".
So, is this sloppy webpage editing, or just random ineptitude?
Only WANE TV knows for sure.
