Man’s death natural causes

The death of a 41-year-old Corydon man first reported in May has been ruled natural causes by the state medical examiner's office, Wayne County Chief Deputy David M. Lewis said Thursday by telephone.

"We never heard anymore and there hasn't been any criminal charges filed out of it," Lewis said.

The death of James M. Bennink was reported May 1 after his body was discovered after friends were unable to contact him on April 30. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed by the State Medical Examiner's Office in Ankeny to determine the cause of death.

Bennink's death was investigated by the Wayne and Decatur County Sheriff's Office, the Iowa State Patrol and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about the recent decision by the Centerville Municipal Waterworks Board of Directors to increase the fee for late payment of water bills. In a story published in Wednesday's Ad Express, board members announced a 10 percent late fee after two days late, a $50 red tag fee for accounts unpaid after seven days late and a $25 shut off fee, water service terminated after two weeks late. The board said the decision to increase the fees associated with late payment is to encourage customers to pay their bills on time. So, the question this week is, "Are these fees too much to ask for?"

A. Yes, they are.
B. No, they are not.
C. I'm not affected so I don't care.
