{Huntington, West Virginia}...Sixty-six year old Otis Clay Junior, a handicapped Huntington man, died at Saint Mary's Medical Center Tuesday after being taken off life support last week. Police say Edward "Jessie" Dreyfuse beat Clay 12 times with an aluminum baseball bat on April 9th, putting Clay into a coma. Family members say Clay suffered from a mental handicap, heart condition and walked with a cane before the attack. On April 20th, Dreyfuse was arrested and charged with malicious wounding and burglary. That charge is expected to be upgraded to murder. An autopsy will be performed Wednesday by the State Medical Examiner.
