Details sketchy on death of Lynwood man

A 66-year-old Lynwood man, an apparent accident victim, died Friday at Community Hospital in Munster, Ind., the Lake County (Ind.) coroner’s office said Saturday.

A cause of death is still pending for Edward Becker, of the 600 block of Virginia Avenue, the coroner’s office said Saturday.

An employee in the coroner’s office said Becker was involved in an accident of some sort in the 2200 block of West 175th Street in Lansing on Friday, but offered no further information.

Lansing police had no information on Saturday.

Becker did have a broken right arm and a broken lower right leg, the coroner’s office said.

Busy signals were received Saturday when a reporter placed two phone calls to the Becker residence.
