Fulminant liver failure from drinking is considered natural causes?

No loss except maybe to his immediate family and even then....

You'd kinda think that instead of letting him accumulate 28 DUIs and end up in prison the court would have ordered him to take Antabuse every day and be tested for the levels in his blood every week to make sure he was taking it daily

I'm guessing the local law enforcement knew him on a first name basis and knew what car he drove.
That, and going out to bars before Uber was a whole different world. The right decision wasn't always the simplest, at least not after a night of drinking, and many times people would choose to roll the dice and drive themselves home.

Got me curious as to how many dwi’s one could really get, and then there’s this guy

ANDERSON, Ind. -- A 74-year-old Anderson man who's been arrested at least 400 times for drunken driving was sentenced Monday to 17 years in prison for his latest drunken driving conviction. Virldeen Redmon was arrested in July for driving even though his license had been suspended for life. His latest conviction was on charges of driving while intoxicated, endangering a person and driving while suspended. Police have been arresting Redmon since 1947, including three times since June. He's had his driver's license suspended for life five times. In 1996, a judge sentenced Redmon to 9-1/2 years in prison. That sentence was reduced in 2001 and he was released after a doctor testified that Redmon suffers from health problems.

He needs to move somewhere with a more walkable lifestyle.

You would think after 100 they would lock him up for 25+. He probably told them he drove better drunk.

I'm sure the bulk of his DWI's came from illegally driving but I'd bet the "whiskey plates" they use in Minnesota got his dumbass pulled over and arrested at least a few times. I wish more states had that law for multiple offenders

Not sure having a chronic problem with alcohol use (as evidenced by 28 DWI's) qualifies as "death by natural causes".

That town looks like it’s pretty far out there too, a 2,000 person town well outside the Minneapolis metro. The kind of place where you know the cops personally because there’s 4 of them and they live down the street, and they’d offer to drive you home the first time or two they caught you.
I wonder if he got into a bar fight/argument with an off duty cop early in his drinking career?
