QUICK REVERSAL

When the body of Phillip W. Wine Lewis Jr., 40, was found in a pool of
blood at his home in Fredericksburg, Va., investigators concluded from
drugs, drug paraphernalia, and other evidence on the scene that he had died
of a drug overdose, and the medical examiner decided not to bother with an
autopsy. Later, a tip from a jail inmate led authorities to exhume the
remains and perform an autopsy. They found four bullet wounds, changed the
cause of death to murder, and immediately arrested a suspect.
