Longmont Man Guilty of Vehicular Homicide Found Dead in Denver Hotel

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say a Longmont man who pleaded guilty to a drunken-driving crash that killed a fetus has been found dead in a Denver motel.

The Denver medical examiner identified the body of 53-year-old Gary Sheats yesterday.

The Longmont Times-Call reports an autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death. Sheats pleaded guilty last month to felony vehicular assault and driving under the influence.

He faced up to 20 years in prison at a sentencing hearing set for April 6.
