MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A coroner says gambling trial defendant
Ray Crosby died from natural causes.

Montgomery County Coroner David Thrasher said Friday an autopsy
by the state Department of Forensic Science showed Crosby died from hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

Crosby was found dead at his Montgomery home on Jan. 29. His
retrial in Alabama's gambling corruption case was scheduled to
start the next day.

Crosby was accused of taking a bribe from casino owner Milton McGregor while working for the Legislature writing bills on gambling issues. That charge has now been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson.
