rifle under his chin, but when
the police were called they were
responding to a “man with a
gun, th re a te n in g ” report,
according to Mark Werner,
BI A special investigator.
W erner said th a t the
confusion resulted from the
officers apparently not being
told that Tufit was threatening
suicide or that he had talked of
suicide before. “Apparently
that inform ation was not
passed on to police officers,”
Werner said.
Tufit was alone in the cell
and had been checked at 11:50
p.m. by Chris Still. He was
okay at that time. It was 12:04
when he was found, just 14
minutes after the last check,
Werner said. The doctor, who
was in Warm Springs, was
immediately called to the jail
where he found no sign of life in
the young man.
Another confusing aspect-
of the case was that about
the same time Tufti was being
lodged, the police received a
call ab o u t an attem pted
suicide-knifing at the Oscar
Tufti residence, M ark’s father’s
home,
Mark was concerned that it
was his father, according to
Werner. But the attempted
suicide was at another house in
West Hills and was not M ark’s
father. The individual who
attempted suidice was treated
a t the clinic and is in
satisfactory condition.
“That is the reason Chris
Still talked with Mark at 11:50
p.m .,” said W erner. Still
wanted Tufti to know that it
wasn’t his dad, and Tufti
seemed to be relieved, Still told

investigation for the govern
