Westmo Co. Coroner To Make Ruling In Teen's Death

GREENSBURG (AP) ― The Westmoreland County coroner is expected to announce today whether criminal charges should be filed in the death of a 14-year-old boy.

Coroner Kenneth Bacha is also to rule on whether Louis Farrell's death was a suicide, accident or homicide. Farrell died from a shot fired from state Senator Robert Regola's gun.

Regola, the boy's neighbor, was out of town at the time.

Regola's lawyer and the district attorney agree that it appears to be suicide.

But the DA says it looks like Regola violated state firearms law by allowing his teenage son to keep the handgun.

Regola's lawyer says no charges should be filed at all.
