Decatur, Illinois, Friday, January 10, 1986 Page A12 dies amid boxes of cold cash Jackson said. At his own request, gas service to the three-story brick house had been cut off two years ago. An electric space heater in the room where his body was found Dec. 31 was unplugged. "I can't understand why a person of his means would choose to live like that," he said.

Heer, who died of hypothermia, was found fully clothed in a bed in Lt. TedZets. "I can tell you it was so cold in that house I couldn't stand it," said Washington County Coroner Farrell Jackson. "I went in with just my suitcoat on and I had to come back out and get my topcoat." There was only one electric light bulb in the house and no amenities, such as a television set or radio, he said. Heer lived alone and his only relatives are nieces and nephews, the sitting room of his home, Jackson said.

Jackson and police found money stashed in an unlocked safe, a steel box under the bed and a steel box bolted to a table in the sitting "It was" in bags and envelopes. Some of the bills were very old and some were brand new. There was $1,000 in 50s in an envelope, $1,000 of 20s in another, other envelopes with $1,000 in each," the coroner said. Recluse WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) An 89-year-old recluse who had ordered the heat cut off to his house was found frozen to death in bed, a few feet from a box stuffed with nearly $200,000 in cash, authorities said Wednesday.

Joseph Heer, whose estate was worth more than half a million dollars, had been dead for "at least a couple of days" when his body was found in the icy house, said police SUPER ry AP Laserphoto Herbie Hancock, Kim Carnes and Henry Mancini pose with a Grammy after announcing nominees on Thursday.

(AP) -The British band Dire Straits and its leader, Mark Knopfler, led the nominees Thursday for the 28th annual Grammy Awards, while the charity anthem "We Are the World" received six nominations and Phil Collins, Tina Turner and Sting had five each. Dire Straits, whose "Brothers in Arms" album features no-nonsense musical craftsmanship in an age of synthesizers, was nominated for record of the year, album of the year and best rock peformance by a duo or group for "Money For Nothing." Knopfler received eight nominations in all.

"The band is delighted," was the only comment from Dire Straits' manager, Ed Bicknell, in London. "We Are the World," which brought in $44 million in contributions to feed the world's hungry, received top album and record nominations, a song of the year nod for writers Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson, best performance by a pop duo or group, best recording for children as performed by a group called Children of the World, and a nomination for best short form video. "The Grammy nomination is an opportunity for this song, by nomination and possible performance on the Grammys show next month, to keep this issue alive," said promoter Ken Kragen, who organized USA For Africa, the group of 45 top pop artists who recorded the song. "The message of this song is the most important message of our time." Others who received multiple nominations were Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conductor Robert E. Woods, with seven for his role as a producer, and producer David Foster, who received six.
