Louisville Metro Councilman Dies
KENTUCKY...
A Louisville Metro councilman has died after falling in his office. Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Sam Weakley said 66-year-old George Unseld bled to death after falling in his office Thursday evening. Unseld was a retired educator who had represented Old Louisville and other urban neighborhoods since 1999. He served two terms as a Louisville alderman before the city and county governments merged. After Metro Louisville formed, he was elected to three terms. Although other city officials tried to control the bleeding and performed CPR while waiting for paramedics, the councilman was pronounced dead after arriving at University Hospital.
