Authorities in Washington County, Ohio are
reviewing the death of a Palestine, Wirt County
man, who died July 9th of a head injury after
being struck by another man. Twenty-seven-year-old Leo M. Pettry died of "blunt force trauma" after his head hit the pavement, having taken a punch in the face. Pettry reportedly returned to a Belpre, Ohio residence to apologize to a man for an earlier encounter, when that man apparently continued the dispute. Belpre, Ohio police have turned the investigation over to county authorities.
