A 27-year-old woman was found dead Sunday at a home owned by former Anheuser-Busch chief executive August Busch IV in Huntleigh, the Post-Dispatch has learned.

Adrienne N. Martin, of St. Charles, was pronounced dead at 1:26 p.m., according to Suzanne McCune, administrator of the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office. The home is in the 2800 block of South Lindbergh Blvd.

McCune declined to release a cause of death. Toxicology and other tests could take a few weeks.

“There will be some tests that take some time to get results and nothing is finalized,” McCune said.

This happened on Sunday, but the news is just now breaking on the news here.

Note: Art Margulis, Busch's attorney is a high-profile criminal lawyer. Why would he need one of those???

[rucky]

1. Is he trying to get his own cable news show or something?

[bitchkitty]

14. LOL

Wonder who else got that?

[saigon68]

16. WOW his political creer is over

A dead girl or a Live Boy at your house or in your bed

CURTAINS-----

25. I bet she fainted due to medical causes and bashed her head in while falling to the floor....

2. "Busch avoided criminal charges after a car crash in Arizona that killed a 22-year-old woman"

We know what's going to happen in this case

[udbcrzy2]

3. Yeah, I agree - nothing to see here folks move along

Here is more information about him at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Busch_IV

Busch was arrested again in 1985 after leading police on a high-speed car chase. He was accused of intentionally trying to run over two officers with his Mercedes.<4> He was acquitted by a St. Louis jury.

Soon after, he was found guilty of another speeding violation, and received a one-year probation.



I guess that's why he keeps a criminal defense attorney handy. Anxious to see what happens.

9. Imagine if the dead woman in his house WAS his defense attorney? n/t

15. Is that speculation? Or something real?

5. Post-Dispatch just updated this with Arizona incident

Here's the link
http://www.stltoday.com/article_704acdb8-0ed3-11e0-b6d8-0017a4a78c22.html

Originally published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on July 7, 1984

Brewery heir August A. Busch IV of St. Louis has been cleared of the possibility of facing charges of manslaughter and leaving-the- scene in connection with a fatal automobile accident in Arizona late last year.

The attorney for Pima County said in a statement late Friday that the seven-month investigation had 'produced adequate circumstantial evidence' that Busch, 20, had been driving a 1984 black Corvette that had crashed. The one-car crash killed a companion, Michele C. Frederick, 22. The crash occurred last Nov. 13 outside Tucson, Ariz.

But the county attorney declined to prosecute because Busch's blood alcohol level at the estimated time of the accident had been below the legal level for intoxication in Arizona. Witnesses who saw Busch and Miss Frederick leave a bar in Tucson shortly before the accident said Busch had had some drinks there but did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol when he had left about 1 a.m.

7. So it only murder if you are drunk??

Gee, I wonder how much money changed hands??

[Hawkowl]

20. It is only murder if you are poor

If you are rich in America, do whatever the fuck you want.

[Warpy]

10. Maybe not. It depends on what she died of

When there's more than one body connected to even the richest man, it starts to be noticed. If real charges are pressed, he'll simply decamp to Dubai or some other fantasyland that doesn't extradite criminals.

11. You got that right...

The Busch attorney should call him, Joe's had experience with this.

13. The Guardian article is full of "nothing suspicious" in tragedy of 27-year-old's-death

=snip=

Police and the county medical examiner's office yesterday identified the woman as Adrienne N Martin, aged 27. An autopsy has been done but its results have yet to be made known.

However, the St Louis county forensic administrator Suzanne McCune said that there had been no signs of trauma or illness.

Art Margulis, an attorney for Busch, said that Martin was a friend of Busch who had been visiting the home. He said there was "absolutely nothing suspicious". "It was a tragic death of a young woman," he said.

STLtoday.com, the website for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, quoted anonymous friends as saying that Martin and Busch were dating. The newspaper also said that Martin had an eight-year-old child.

17. I tell everyone to drink good beer. Here is proof positive!

:evilgrin:

[alfredo]

19. Drink domestic beers, don't drink foreign beers like Bud, Miller, Coors.

Domestic beers are much better, and unlike the commodity beers you get a the grocery, domestic small brewery beers use pure ingredients. They don't cut corners, they used real hops, not extracts. They use real barley. When you buy a bottle of Great Lakes, or Bells, you get a real honest beer. No rice, no chemicals, just beer.


Sam Adams is a macro brewery, but they seem to think like a micro brewery

Great Lakes, Bells, Stone, Founders, St Louis Brewery (Schlafly) Left Hand, Sierra Nevada, Three Floyds, Brooklyn, Kentucky Ale, and many others are worth a try.

St Louis Brewery is owned by a family member of Phyllis Schlafly, but he makes it very clear she has nothing to do with his business.

18. The Fatal Glass of Beer

a great movie that has NOTHING to do with this topic.

[lanlady]

21. sounds drug-related

Healthy 27 year olds don't just drop dead for no reason.

[dflprincess]

23. Actually sometimes they do

or there is a reason, but it's not found until autopsy. One of my cousins lost his wife when she was 27. She literally dropped dead but the autopsy found a minor heart defect that she would have had from birth but wouldn't obviously cause problems and so she'd never been diagnosed... Though the coroner said he wasn't sure that was what caused the death but it was all they found.

At the time I knew one of the pathologists in the Hennepin County Coroner's office and she told me that a young person dropping dead for no apparent reason is not as uncommon as we like to think and the most horrible thing is when she'd have to tell a family that no cause of death had been found.

22. The law is only for us little people, apparently.

The rich can get away with murder.

[dflprincess]

24. Well we figured that out when Obama decided Bush & Cheney's

war crimes weren't worth pursuing.
