Local high school coach and owner of Wheaton’s Mad Mad Meat Emporium, Arthur Wheaton, passed away on Sunday after a short but hard fought battle with traumatic brain injury which he had been fighting ever since he was diagnosed with it on Sunday.

Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI for short, has perplexed doctors and scholars for a century. The mysterious affliction can affect seemingly anyone at anytime regardless of genetics, lifestyle or sexual orientation.

“It is possible that Wheaton developed TBI as a result of the severe car accident he was involved in prior to being diagnosed,” whispered Dr. Mark Willow, Wheaton’s attending physician, “Of course,  it’s also possible he had TBI prior to the crash. There is no way of knowing for sure, we simply don’t have the technology.”

Officer Randy Braden was first on the scene of the accident.

“If you look at the tire marks you can tell that Mr. Wheaton was driving fairly erratically prior to crashing into the side of the  CVS store. I am no expert but I am going to speculate that if he was suffering from symptoms of TBI which include crushed cheekbone, massive blood loss and bruised brain, those symptoms could have prevented him from driving properly and may have contributed to him smashing into the side of the store at eighty miles an hour.”
