[General]
Verne Gagne, 82 and suffering from Alzheimer's disease body-slammed a 97-year-old fellow patient Helmut Gutmann at the suburban nursing home where they both lived, causing the man's death.Bloomington police are investigating, but not even the victim's widow wants to see the dementia-stricken Gagne prosecuted.Police said there was no clear indication of what set Gagne off, and neither man could remember the incident afterward. He seemed to have a flashback of his wrestling years and attacked the other man.Police said they plan to forward the case to prosecutors by the end of the week for possible charges. Gagne, who has since turned 83, has been moved to another institution.Betty Gutmann is not blaming Gagne, the man's wife,saying he didn't know what he was doing.
