MURRAY â It will be about two weeks before an official cause of death is determined in the case of a fatal shooting that occurred Monday in Calloway County.
On Wednesday, Calloway County Coroner Ricky Garland said an autopsy examination was performed Tuesday afternoon at the Kentucky State Medical Examinerâs Office in Madisonville. He said preliminary results show that a gunshot wound to the chest of a man identified as Luis Mancilla Jr., 53, of Murray, is believed to be the cause of death, but that the medical examiner handling the case wants to see the results of toxicology tests before officially determining that finding.

MURRAY â The Murray-Calloway County Public Hospital Corporation Board of Trustees Wednesday afternoon voted unanimously to begin exploring the possibility of selling the Spring Creek Health Care and Skilled Nursing Center that Murray-Calloway County Hospital has owned for about the past 20 years.Â
This came following an executive session that was part of the boardâs regular monthly meeting. Since the matter involved real estate, the executive session fell under Kentucky Revised Statute provisions necessary for the discussions to be conducted in a private setting.
Hospital CEO Jerry Penner said there have been several such sessions among board members in the past year about this issue. However, he also said discussions about this possibility were happening for the past few years.Â
