PITTSBURGH Police seek priest's phone records in ex-Pitt football player's death

Friends said the teen was annoyed by frequent calls from the priest.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Police want to review a Roman Catholic priest's cell phone records as part of their investigation of the death of former University of Pittsburgh wide receiver Billy Gaines, but investigators won't say why they want the records.
Nobody has been charged in the case. But Allegheny County police have said Gaines -- a former high school star from Ijamsville, Md. -- was drunk June 18 when he fell through the ceiling at St. Anne Catholic Church in the Pittsburgh suburb of Homestead. Gaines was 19; the legal drinking age in Pennsylvania is 21.
Now police want to see records for Gaines' cell phone and one owned by the Rev. Henry Krawczyk, according to search warrants police obtained last week.
Gaines had been living at the church with a teammate after their apartment was destroyed in a fire.
Friends told police that Gaines was annoyed by repeated calls from the priest in the month before he died.
The friends told police that Gaines felt "compelled" to return Krawczyk's calls, some of which were made when Krawczyk would have known Gaines was in class, police said in the warrant.
Priest resigned
Krawczyk has since resigned as pastor of a parish that included the church where Gaines fell.
Krawczyk's attorney David Cercone has refused to comment and didn't immediately return a call Thursday.
The search warrant said police were told that Krawczyk provided alcohol to Gaines and four other underage men at a cookout in the hours leading up to Gaines' deadly fall.
The warrant doesn't say why police believe the phone records -- from May 19 to June 19, the day Gaines died -- are important to their investigation. Authorities declined to comment.
