The prosecutor’s office relayed to KCTV5 that it did not know the cause of Andrew Lester's death, but did add that Lester was not in custody when he died.

Last year an Elderly man in the Kansas City area shot a young black man twice through his front door. The young man came to his door by mistake. I suspect that dementia was involved in some way although he was ruled competent to stand trial. He plead guilty to 2nd degree assault last Friday and was awaiting sentencing. Will update if additional information becomes available.

He’s 86, but everything but his hair looked 96. He could have just died of being worn out. Sad and tragic situation.
