MIDDLEFIELD -- A security camera video captured the last hour and 40
minutes of James M. Mason's life as the frail 73-year-old battled with
his much younger, transgender wife in the pool of their apartment
complex.

Mason had a heart attack on June 2 in the pool of the Middlefield
Village Apartments and died a day later. Police didn't initially
investigate his death because it seemed to be from natural causes.

His wife, Chris, 40, sparked the investigation by raising the idea of
filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex,
officials said.
