Police say man pushing stolen car died in fall ASSOCIATED PRESS • January 23, 2009
NORTON SHORES, Mich.— Police say a western Michigan man was trying to push a stolen car out of a snow bank when he slipped on the ice, cracked his head and died.
Norton Shores police identify him as 44-year-old city resident Francisco Gonzales.
Lt. Jon Gale tells The Muskegon Chronicle that Gonzales and a 45-year-old companion were driving Thursday in a car reported stolen in Kentwood.
Gale says the companion told officers he and Gonzales had been smoking crack cocaine and were on the way to the bank to get money to buy more crack when they got stuck in the snow bank.
The lieutenant says investigators are trying to find out if the story is true and says drug tests will be conducted as part of an autopsy on Gonzales.
