No investigation is planned, according to Fantasia-Ephemera. Preliminary examination of Howell�s residence has revealed no suicide note and no evidence of drug abuse or foul play, Fantasia-Ephemera said.
Howell was transported by Quemado Fire Department ambulance to Quemado Regional Medical Center emergency room Thursday morning, where he was pronounced dead on arrival (DOA). Coroner�s spokesman Dr Mudd E Noggin informed the Myth-Legend that preliminary examination revealed no apparent indication of foul play. No autopsy is planned, Noggin said.

Neighbors said that Howell always appeared in good spirits, with a ready smile and entertaining stories for his many visitors.
Howell was internationally renowned as the author of several books on a wide variety of technical subjects and an internationally respected technical and forensic expert on firearms.
Howell was the subject of a lengthy Myth-Legend interview and article in January, 2012, on the subject of his controversial analysis of �The Intricate Simplicities in the English Translations of the New Testament.�
Howell�s body was discovered by utilities repairmen who declined to be interviewed and requested anonymity.Just got a new word-processor and have been having fun with a bit of throw-away blarney. (Just a little bit o' nil to add a tad of sparkle to a dull day!)
Thought that maybe a few at the 'fire might like to play with this, too.
Have a ball, y'all!
