A Tennessee father died of a heart attack one day after learning his son had been brutally murdered. The body of Alan Short’s son, Christopher Scott Short, was found outside the Celebrity Coin Laundry in Greeneville, Tenn., on Oct. 2. The Short family told WATE TV that father and son were very close, and that Alan Short could not bear the news of his son’s death.
Police swiftly identified the suspect in Christopher Short’s murder as spree killer Stanley Eric ‘Woo-Woo’ Mossburg. Mossburg went on to murder two others victims before police apprehended him following a shootout with a SWAT team at a house in Winter Park, Fla., on Oct. 15.
