Date: Wednesday, September 6, 2000, Front page & on page Headline: Jena man drowns on Labor Day A 56-year-old Jena man drowned on Monday of this week, in what authorities are callin an accidental drowning in a local physician's swimming pool. John E. Butler was employed by Dr. Riaz Chaudhry as grounds keeper, and ws at the Jena doctor's residence Monday afternoon, along with his wife Linda Webster Butler, when the accident occurred. According to Investigator David Smith of the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Department, Butler was working around the pool area when he apparently fell into the swimming pool. Butler's wife, who was at another location on the property, heard something splash into the pool and when she went to investigate, found her husband at the bottom of the pool. After several unsuccessful attempts to rescue him, she called for help using her cellular phone. Smith said his office received the call for help at 2:50 p.m., Labor Day, and officers and an ambulance were immediately dispatched to the residence, which is located on Peyton Street in Jena across from Jena High School. The first officers to arrive were Louisiana State Trooper James Farris and Jena Police Officer Jim Attaway. The two officers pulled Butler from the pool and began CPR until the LaSalle Parish Ambulance arrived, continued CPR and transported him to LaSalle General Hospital. Butler was later pronounced dead at the hospital by a LaSalle Parish Coroner. Smith said at the time of the drowning, the Butlers were the only ones present at the residence, but said the investigation thus far has led them to rule the drowning as accidental. The investigator also said that a blood alcohol test on Butler revealed that alcohol could have played a factor in the drowning.
