Floyd County Magistrate Dies
KENTUCKY...
Floyd County District 2 Magistrate Jackie Edford Owens died at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center in Lexington about 3:30 p.m. yesterday. The veteran magistrate, who was seeking a sixth term in the upcoming May primary, collapsed late Tuesday night while conducting a mine safety training class. Doctors later determined that he had suffered a cerebral aneurysm and simply fell to the ground while talking to his trainees at the site. He was 56 and has served on the Floyd County Fiscal Court as a representative for his district for nearly two decades.
