That is the general time frame in which to ex- pect all the toxicology reports to be complet- ed in that case, the spokeswoman said.

She noted that the November ballot is two pages, front and back, and is very crowded. "I strongly urge all voters to take the time to study the issues and contests before going to their early voting sites or precincts," she said in the news release. Voters may preview their sample ballots and mark their choices on the summary that is ed in the file regarding the investigation into the death of Garrett Mabrey of Columbus, IN, Rose added. Deputies were called to the Crystal Sands Condominiums at 6300 Midnight Pass Road, Siesta Key, at 3:25 a.m. Oct. 12 by a resident who had found the victim at the bottom of the pool, a Sheriff's Office report said. Mabrey was pronounced dead at the scene. His family reported having seen Mabrey just before midnight, the report added. The fam- ily had come to Siesta Key on vacation, the report said.
