Man who helped Oregon police collapses and dies

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A 58-year-old Good Samaritan who helped police in Oregon catch a car prowler collapsed and died while walking back to his office in Eugene.

Brad Killian’s wife, Deborah, told The Register-Guard there were no warning signs, and while it appeared he died of a heart attack, the official cause has not yet been determined.

Killian was a former police officer who worked as an addictions counselor. He called police Friday when he saw a man trying to break into cars. Killian followed the man until police arrived and arrested the 22-year-old suspect.

Killian collapsed minutes later and could not be revived.
