Witness sought in Valley jogger’s death
Detectives are looking for a witness who helped alert Spokane Valley authorities last month to an injured jogger who later died.
A motorist found retired pastor David W. Thorin, 71, at East Fourth Avenue and South Adams Road about 6:45 a.m. Sept. 18 with an “obvious head wound,” the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
Medics described Thorin as “uncooperative and combative” and said he didn’t say how he’d been injured. He later died at a hospital.
Thorin is pictued above in July 2009 while volunteering at Spokane Valley Partners, a non-profit that runs the Valley Food Bank.
