Headline:  Rapides Man Falls Dead While Fishing

A 67-year old man died late Friday afternoon after he apparently suffered a 
heart attack while fishing on a bayou near here, according to LaSalle Parish 
Sheriff's Department.

Officials identified the man as Esaw brown.  He was pronounced dead at the 
scene by LaSalle Parish Coroner I. C. Turnley.

Deputy Butch Ganey, who investigated the incident, said Brown was fishing off 
the banks of Sandy Bayou located two miles east of the Diversion Canal near 
La. Hwy. 28 when death occurred.  Brown was fishing with two of his brothers 
who told police that Brown was in the process of removing a fish from his 
line when he fell forward onto his face.

Ganey said it was reported that Brown had suffered a similar attack some 
seven years ago.
