Ind. Courts - "Longtime Madison County Judge David W. Hopper is dead after an apparent heart attack late Tuesday night"
From the Anderson Herald Bulletin, this story:
ANDERSON — Longtime Madison County Judge David W. Hopper is dead after an apparent heart attack late Tuesday night. He was 60.Doug Long, an local lawyer and Hopper’s brother-in-law, said Hopper suffered a “massive heart attack” some time around midnight at his home in Anderson. He said Hopper was in excellent health and his death comes as a shock to the family. * * *
Madison County Commissioner Paul Wilson, D-South District, said the flag at the Madison County Government Center had already been lowered.
“He had a long service with this county that should be honored as we intend to,” Wilson said.
Wilson said Hopper was the chief judge of Madison County’s unified court system, meaning he had administrative duties related to every court, and the responsibility of the chief judge will revert back to Judge Dennis Carroll.
