Nyssa death ruled accidental
NYSSA, Ore., - Authorities in Malheur County Oregon say the man who died in Nyssa in late September likely died of hypothermia.

Forensic testing on Estrada's body revealed that he had a high blood alcohol level at the time of death, officials say. The high blood alcohol level likely contributed to the injuries he sustained and his death from hypothermia.
