Published March 29, 1995
After a review of the autopsy of Celtics star REGGIE LEWIS, MA State Public Safety Secretary KATHLEEN O'TOOLE reiterated that Lewis died from heart failure and not cocaine abuse. She announced the autopsy was thorough and free of outside pressure (WASHINGTON POST, 3/29). Lewis' wife, DONNA HARRIS-LEWIS, was interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." Asked why she wouldn't authorize the release of her husbands autopsy report, Harris-Lewis: "Why release it to the media? ... When the right times comes I might release it to the medical community" (ABC, 3/29)
