What happened?

When Ambrose Garrett's wife still couldn't reach him hours after the Whitehall Homeowners Association meeting, she asked family friend Julie Arbuckle for help.

Julie went to the Whitehall Community Center, where the HOA had met earlier that evening, and found Ambrose unresponsive in the meeting room.

She called 911, and Ambrose was pronounced dead a short time later. He had no apparent injuries, and there were no signs of a disturbance in the meeting room.
