An autopsy revealed no obvious cause of death. Timek recently was charged with writing illegal prescriptions. A former patient had sued Timek for malpractice, claiming Timek prescribed so many painkillers that she became addicted. On Tuesday, the defense rested its case in the murder trial of Ryan Mathieson. The 25-year old Cambria County man is accused of killing Michael Koslovac of Ebensburg last June.
Authorities say it happened after the two returned from a drug run to Harrisburg.
The defense called just four witnesses, in an attempt to chip away at the prosecutions case. The accused, Ryan Mathieson did not take the stand. Wednesday morning, the jury will hear closing arguments and begin deliberating in the afternoon. A Johnstown man accused of a deadly Easter Sunday car crash will have his day in court. A jury in Cambria County Court was selected Tuesday in the trial of Jamie Hillegas.
