Richard "Richie" Caffee, 12, of Edmonton, died Sunday aftrnoon, possibly of a heart ailment. The family said it knew of no health problems. He would have been 13 on July 11. On Tuesday, his 17-year old brother, Justin, died of brain injuries suffered in a wreck Saturday in Edmonton. Richie had traveled to Louisville with his parents, Mark and Sallie Caffee, and his 19 year old sister, Amy Caffee, to be with Justin at University of Louisville Hospital. They were returning from a brief respite when Richie fell dead Sunday night on the sidewalk leading to the hospital entrance. The family's pastor, Brother Jeff Coursey of Calvary Baptist Church in Glasgow, said Tuesday that "Sunday afternoon, when Justin had become somewhat stable, Richie just took off running and for some reason he just collapsed. It [he] was just a typical young person, and he had a lot of energy and was in a hurry to see his brother." Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Larry Austin, said he can't determine why Richie died until he receives pathology reports in six to eight weeks, but a heart ailment is a strong possibility, he said. Justin Caffe, who attended Barren County High School and turned 17 Sunday, and Emberton, who had just completed her sophomore year at Metcalfe County High, were passengers in Wilson's vehicle. Coursey said Richie Caffee played basketball and had just been chosen to be on an All-Star baseball team. He said Richie liked to play drums and would occasionally accompany his father, who performed in a Christian music group. [New Direction].
