A man who died after being head-butted by an armless man acclaimed for drawings he does with his feet died from a heart attack, not the head-butt, a county medical examiner said yesterday.
Charles Keith Teer and artist William Russell Redfern scuffled Monday in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home, Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said.
Redfern, who was born with no right arm and a stump below his left shoulder, kicked Teer, and Teer hit Redfern during the fight, which was due to bad blood over a woman who once dated Teer and now dates Redfern.
After bystanders separated them, Redfern "came back and head-butted (Teer) one time", Whitehead said.
Ted Bailey, chief investigator with the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner's Office, said that the head-butt did not cause Teer's death as was first thought.
No charges against Redfern had been filed yet. Police had said they would await autopsy results before deciding whether to charge him.
