CRY's History
 |

In
memory of Ronnie Armitage
"All
sorts of things crossed my mind but after thorough investigations at
the scene it was confirmed nothing was suspicious about the way
Ronnie died. It is not known whether he felt dizzy and fell to
the floor then slumped or whether he was already on his knees maybe
swishing the bath water before getting into the bath"
