David Ross Winters, 23, was pronounced dead at 12:04 a m. at St Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, officials said. Hospital officials said some of the organs from Winters' body were used for transplants, but they would not elaborate.

Winters, of 1801 W. Mountain View Road, barricaded himself in his apartment after firing a gunshot through a door, grazing a Phoenix police officer. Three officers had gone to the apartment to arrest Winters for a parole violation. the financially troubled, 213-bed hospital, which is located on the -south aide of Tucson. An ap- Barmat was arrested in a Nov.

4 raid on the bar and was charged with the sale of cocaine, possession of narcotics for sale and conspiracy to sell cocaine. Two ounces of cocaine and about 100 tablets of methaqualone were found, officials said. David Dingeldine, Pima County deputy attorney, said criminal charges against Barmat will be dismissed but added that no decision has been made on whether to continue to press liens against Barmat's house, three cars and liquor license. Robertson said the bar could remain open with the present liquor license after an agent was named to run it until Barmat's estate was settled. Authorities have tried periodically and unsuccessfully, except for a 10-day suspension in 1980, to close the Ranch House for alleged liquor violations since Barmat opened it in October 1973.

The effort heated up after a February 1982 shoot-out resulted in the deaths of narcotics officer Jeffery Ross of the Tucson Police Department and Clifford Hamilton, night manager at the bar. Robertson recently told Che Legislature that all he had been able to do about the Ranch House Bar since the shooting was to fine Barmat $3,000 for various technical violations of the liquor law. He cited reports of 120 specific incidents at the bar. Earier this year, Barmat pleaded no contest to several charges, including two involving dancers exposing too much of their bodies. He pleaded guilty to eight liquor-law counts, but all of the charges were settled with the $3,000 fine.

Asked if Barmat's legal problems -may have contributed to his fatal heart attacks, defense attorney Robert Hirsh said, "I'm sure they did." Barmat was born in Philadelphia and moved to Tucson in 1971 to become general manager of the now-defunct AMA department store. Besides his wife, survivors include a son and siblings. Funeral arrangements at Evergreen Mortuary were incomplete Tuesday.

Barmat, who had been facing up to five years in prison and loss of his property if convicted of drug charges, died Monday night in Tucson Medical Center after suffering two heart attacks.

Barmat, 51, was at home with his wife, Ziva, when the first attack occurred about 9 p.m., said Marvin Spivack, a friend and former business associate. The death "sure puts a stop" to probes of allegedly nude dancing and of employees drinking on the premises, said Lloyd Robertson, superintendent of the state Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. But narcotics agent David Gonzales of the state Department of Public Safety said Tuesday that his office will continue to work toward closing the bar and going after Barmat's assets under the state's Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act vpraisal prepared for the county Rvalues Kino at $21 million.
