LAS VEGAS (AP) - No evidence of foul play was found in the exhumed body of the former husband of late Nevada state Controller Kathy Augustine, the Clark County coroner said Tuesday.
The report effectively clears Chaz Higgs, a former nurse who had provided care for Charles Augustine, of involvement in his death. Higgs — who married Kathy Augustine three weeks after her husband died — awaits trial in her death.
Charles Augustine died of natural causes in August 2003 at age 63, Coroner Michael Murphy said in a news release issued after what he characterized as an exhaustive review of samples taken from the body, which was disinterred Oct. 10.
