He said Giansante's body showed evidence of suffering a heart attack "maybe six months" prior to the shooting, but said this was "definitely not" a contributing factor in the death. When asked for his opinion as to whether thexdeath was accidental, suicide or foul play, Irving said "I think you cannot be sure of any of the three," but said it was "most likely accident or suicide." Louis and Richard Giackino, Ramsay, the hunters who found the body of Giansante Nov. near a logging road about four miles south of Wakefield testified at the inquest. Giansante had been missing since going partridge hunting alone Sept. 29.

Richard Giackino said he was driving a "skidder" along the logging road when he saw Giansante's vest and hat hanging from a tree next to the road. He stopped the vehicle to investigate and eventually discovered the body slumped against a tree. Giackino then honked the horn on the vehicle to summon his father, Richard, and the two went to notify authorities. Both said at the inquest they had left everything the way it was as they found it. State Police trooper Allen D.

Archie of the Wakefield post said he found the body slumped against the tree and noted the face and head were badly deteriorated, but the rest of the body was well-preserved. He said he saw no signs of a struggle or any evidence of foul play. He said he thought shooting was "either accidental or suicide," but there was no evidence to prove Archie also notedvthere was no positive way to identify-from what gun the shotgun, pellet came from that lodged in Giansante's head. Archie said fingerprints taken from the body didn't match with any on record and his "department could make no positive identification. Gogebic County Deputy Sheriff Donald PezzettLmade the and at the inquest Giansante was his uncle and he know him all his life.

Pezzetti also showed the jury pictures taken of the body as it was found, slumped against a tree and a shotgun, the right barrel which had been fired. Department of Natural Resources officer Ernest Sharon substantiated the testimony of other witnesses and noted the shotgun wound would have had to have been caused by a short- range blast. County Prosecutor Jerome C. Nadolney, who did some of the witness examination at the inquest, instructed the "jury that there was a "presumption of innocence" on the part of Giansante in favor of accidental or natural causes of death unless there is definite evidence to indicate suicide or foul play. Clemens then clarified the jury's instructions before the jury retired to reach its verdict.

Giansante's death is the second hunting death in the area this year. The first was Clark Meyers, 60, Canton, Ohio, who was found shot in the back on Sept. 12 during bear hunting season. Michigan State Police are still investigating that case. 2 Injured on Snowmobile An East Peoria, 111., man and his granddaughter were reported in satisfactory condition this morning at Howard Young Medical Center, Woodruff, following a snowmobile accident Friday night.
