Son 'cut pacemaker from dead mother's chest'
February 2, 2005

A United States man has been charged with cutting a pacemaker out of his dead mother's chest with a kitchen knife as part of a long-running dispute with a medical company, police said.

Texas sheriff's deputies arrested James A Donalson, 59, yesterday after paramedics responding to the death of his mother discovered a large incision in her chest, Sergeant Bruce Williams said.

"The son, her caretaker, made the comment, 'I removed the pacemaker,'" Williams said. "It's my understanding there's been some kind of ongoing dispute between the son, insurance companies and the doctor since this pacemaker was implanted in 1995."

Donalson told reporters he wanted to keep the pacemaker as evidence of possible wrongdoing by its supplier. Investigators also want it to help determine the circumstances of the woman's death.

Donalson was charged with tampering with evidence, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and jailed in lieu of $US5,000 ($6,500) bond.

He was set to appear before a judge today.

Authorities ordered an autopsy but believe his mother, 85-year-old Ann Donalson, died of natural causes. Her son removed the pacemaker with a kitchen knife at their home just north-west of Houston, police said.

"They killed my mother," Donalson told reporters from the back of a squad car yesterday, apparently referring to a medical device company.

Deputies had not found the pacemaker yet, Williams said.

Sick indeed, I know I certainly couldn't do that...

Wow, if he honestly believes that a faulty pacemaker is responsible for his mothers death, surely he could have had it removed by the proper authorities. Man, I could not cut open my own mothers chest. No way, no how.

I think this guy was just a few short of a six pack but acting on what he thought was the right thing, even though it's sick to normal people. Bear in mind his mother has just died, he suspects the company that made the pacemaker, he could of been paranoid they would of somehow reclaimed it to cover up the evidence.

People do stupid things in bad states on mind.

Only in America (and probablly China, who would want to reuse the pacemaker) could you find some one who would do that. I know I certainly couldn't.
