On May 27 at approximately 4 p.m. the Chadron Police Department and Dawes County Attorney/Coroner investigated the death of 63 year-old Paul Howard. 

Howard was at work and stepped outside to move a vehicle. He never returned to work. 

A co-worker went outside to check on Howard and found him unresponsive. 

"After an investigation of the scene, witness interviews and consultation with emergency medical personnel, it was determined that Mr. Howard died of natural causes," Dawes County Attorney/Coroner Vance Haug said.
