Coroner reports three-month-old died in bassinet The cause of death of a Shel- ton infant who died on November 14 remains under investigation by Mason County Coroner Wes Stockwell and Shelton Police De- partment. Stockwell reported that 3- month-old Jesiah Whip Bankem- per was pronounced dead at ap- proximately 6 p.m. on November 14 in the Emergency Room of Mason General Hospital. Stock- well said the infant had been transported to the hospital from a residence at 213 West Euclid Street by medics after being found unresponsive in his bas- sinet. The infant's 38-year-old grandmother found the baby and called 911, Shelton Police De- tective Harry Heldreth told The Journal. "Nothing appears to be unusual at this point in the in- vestigation." An autopsy was performed on the infant last Thursday. Stock- well said the cause of death is pending while toxicological and tissue samples are examined by a forensic pathologist. Heldreth said ordering toxi- cology tests is routine. "We don't suspect there was any abuse of medications or anything of that nature," he said. Wife: Pot user was better after a coma induced by alcohol While her husband, Alexander, continues to battle Crohn's dis- ease and a severe sensitivity to light, Kim Morris wonders when the couple will get its medicinal marijuana back from the Shelton Police Department. Last week, Kim Morris, 36, and others spoke before the Shel- ton City Commission about the matter. Police served a search warrant on the Morrises' apart- ment in Shelton on November 8 and seized six small marijuana plants and a small amount of what Kim Morris contends is me- dicinal marijuana. Crohn's disease is a condition of the digestive system and Alex- ander Morris, 35, suffers fevers, fatigue, diarrhea and headaches from it, his wife said: He also has problems with his speech stem- ming from an alcohol-induced coma in May 2005, Kim Morris said Monday in an interview with The Journal. He has been using medicinal marijuana since December 2006 and Kim Morris said he ingests it daily in cookies or tea. She said she monitors his daily dosage. "We really keep track," she add- ed. "I treat it as a medicine." THE COUPLE has been mar- ried nearly a year and a half. They were dating when Alex- ander, who had joined a 12-step group and was in alcohol recovery at the time, went into the coma, Kim said. She said he was on full life- support and was given a slim chance for survival. Kim and oth- ers prayed over Alexander and read Holy Scripture to him. His coma ended after a little less than 36 hours. "When he came to, the nurse almost fainted," she said. Alexander tried 15 different medications before marijuana, which Kim said calms his head- aches, helps with his sensitivity to light and helps him to digest food and keep his weight up. It was the only medication he was using on November 8, the day the police came to their apartment. "By them taking his medica- tion, they have put my husband's health in jeopardy," she said of the police. THE MORRISES have re- tained a Seattle attorney who has been trying to contact Mason County Deputy Prosecuting At- torney Mike Dorcy to discuss the couple's situation and perhaps head off future seizures of the marijuana, Kim said, adding that so far the attorney had not talked with Dorcy. She said she was born and raised in Shelton, attends a lo- cal church and neither drinks nor uses drugs.

Coroner reports three-month-old died in bassinet The cause of death of a Shel- ton infant who died on November 14 remains under investigation by Mason County Coroner Wes Stockwell and Shelton Police De- partment. Stockwell reported that 3- month-old Jesiah Whip Bankem- per was pronounced dead at ap- proximately 6 p.m. on November 14 in the Emergency Room of Mason General Hospital. Stock- well said the infant had been transported to the hospital from a residence at 213 West Euclid Street by medics after being found unresponsive in his bas- sinet. The infant's 38-year-old grandmother found the baby and called 911, Shelton Police De- tective Harry Heldreth told The Journal. "Nothing appears to be unusual at this point in the in- vestigation." An autopsy was performed on the infant last Thursday. Stock- well said the cause of death is pending while toxicological and tissue samples are examined by a forensic pathologist. Heldreth said ordering toxi- cology tests is routine. "We don't suspect there was any abuse of medications or anything of that nature," he said. Wife: Pot user was better after a coma induced by alcohol While her husband, Alexander, continues to battle Crohn's dis- ease and a severe sensitivity to light, Kim Morris wonders when the couple will get its medicinal marijuana back from the Shelton Police Department. Last week, Kim Morris, 36, and others spoke before the Shel- ton City Commission about the matter. Police served a search warrant on the Morrises' apart- ment in Shelton on November 8 and seized six small marijuana plants and a small amount of what Kim Morris contends is me- dicinal marijuana. Crohn's disease is a condition of the digestive system and Alex- ander Morris, 35, suffers fevers, fatigue, diarrhea and headaches from it, his wife said: He also has problems with his speech stem- ming from an alcohol-induced coma in May 2005, Kim Morris said Monday in an interview with The Journal. He has been using medicinal marijuana since December 2006 and Kim Morris said he ingests it daily in cookies or tea. She said she monitors his daily dosage. "We really keep track," she add- ed. "I treat it as a medicine." THE COUPLE has been mar- ried nearly a year and a half. They were dating when Alex- ander, who had joined a 12-step group and was in alcohol recovery at the time, went into the coma, Kim said. She said he was on full life- support and was given a slim chance for survival. Kim and oth- ers prayed over Alexander and read Holy Scripture to him. His coma ended after a little less than 36 hours. "When he came to, the nurse almost fainted," she said. Alexander tried 15 different medications before marijuana, which Kim said calms his head- aches, helps with his sensitivity to light and helps him to digest food and keep his weight up. It was the only medication he was using on November 8, the day the police came to their apartment. "By them taking his medica- tion, they have put my husband's health in jeopardy," she said of the police. THE MORRISES have re- tained a Seattle attorney who has been trying to contact Mason County Deputy Prosecuting At- torney Mike Dorcy to discuss the couple's situation and perhaps head off future seizures of the marijuana, Kim said, adding that so far the attorney had not talked with Dorcy. She said she was born and raised in Shelton, attends a lo- cal church and neither drinks nor uses drugs. Thursday, November 22, 2007 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page 2
