A year ago today:
Paul Dunbar, 27, described in court records as having "very significant mental-health issues" beats his father, Paul Dunbar, 71, to death with a baseball bat while they were preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, the Scituate police say.
5 years ago today:
Patrick Coulter, 14, of Coventry, who collapsed and died in the Dunkin' Donuts Center after a Providence Bruins hockey game three days ago, apparently suffered cardiac arrest stemming from a condition that had been diagnosed years ago.
25 years ago today:
Police, fire and rescue workers from Smithfield and Lincoln are called to North Central Airport when a twin-engine plane reports trouble landing. But a broken wheel and a bent propeller were all that were found damaged.
