DURHAM -- Someone apparently forgot to request a legally required autopsy in a pending Durham murder case, prompting questions about the victim's cause of death as the trial draws near. Fifty-year-old Larry Holland died seven months after he allegedly was kicked into a coma by Antonio Ramille Ryals, 24, on Valentine's Day last year. Death came when Holland's parents agreed to discontinue "extraordinary" measures that were being used to keep him alive.
