NEW YORK (WABC) -- A man chokes to death on a hot dog over the summer but now the accident has been re-classified as a homicide.
The victim, a 65-year-old man died when he suffered a seizure eating a hot dog at his apartment in Chelsea. But now the Medical Examiner says Crawford's seizures were caused by an attack against him 44 years ago.

Generally, if the victim survives for a year after an assault, homocide is ruled out. Any brutal beating will shorten your life, most likely.
Had that woman, Miss Lawinsky, such problems. The world would be different today.......
You have to die within the year of an attack for it to be murder in most states.
Good grief! Drama, drama, everywhere.
Sounds like a CSI episode.
Snack Attack...
More importantly, WILL OBAMACARE COVER IT?
Actually, I have to say that CSI Miami jumped the shark last night with an episode on tracking e. coli in lettuce to a menacing big, bad agribusiness firm. While I generally enjoy the show - you almost wonder if there was a writer’s strike several months ago and they filmed a script that was blown in over the transom and picked at random - it was pathetic.
My wife watched the same episode. Fortunately I went to bed. Said it was so bad she may never watch CSI Miami again.
A real left wing piece of crap of a CSI Miami show. Hard to believe that Caruso and Company even agreed to work on filming it. Unless they get some decent story lines, that show is history for me. Pure BS nonsense of a script.
A lot of states have "the year and a day rule," although others have no time period if the death results directly from the assault. Here's a recent example...
Death of former Colt results in murder charges, 27 years later ...
Personally, I'd like to see the time period generally ruled out, largely because people could simply use HIV+ blood as a murder weapon and never get charged with it.
dont you remember this is the week that hollywood is doing shows that promote ‘green’ and ‘volunteerism’ and other items on “the agenda”...
Im serious...
also, look for the ads for iparticipate.org...part of the same agenda. Now tv is trying to indoctrinate us with this crap.
remember that the NEA (Nat’l Endowment for Arts) was caught a few weeks back meeting with the WHite House about how they could help promote the Obama agenda.
I suspect this is from the same pow-wow
... any idea what Caruso's stupid pun was that week?
Respect for the law is ruined by Prosecutor’s ham sandwiches.
It was such a deviation from the normal quality of their episodes. I mean - the series has to be almost fatally funny to real CSI folks, who are poorly funded, have bleak office settings, and never carry weapons or arrest perps. The dramatic amalgam of a scientist/crime scene tech/detective/near prosecutor is a big stretch, but generally they carry it off. That show last night was weak in several dimensions - they should lose the episode and keep it out of reruns, it was that bad.
CSI Miami, and David Carruso for that matter, have always sucked. I much prefer CSI: NY and CSI: LV.
I didn’t realize this was the promote green, etc week, but I have to disagree with you folks who had a problem with last night’s CSI. I actually found it riveting. And while I acknowledge some of it was a bit over board, there was a whole lot more truth in it than most folks want to believe.
Yes, I know that's an urban legend.
