27 year old Ty Reddish, son of Norco High wrestling Coach, jumped in air grabbed a 68 year old man by head, dropped feet, stood up came down with knees into back, then while passed out turned him over and choked him and jumped up and down on his chest. The elder 68 year old Nye Frank died within 5 minutes. The autopsy in Riverside County called this a natural cause of death. What do you think? Would someone professionally trained know better? If you know something about these moves write me.
