A married Arizona dad died after becoming pinned under his car while he tried to fix it - but bystanders who witnessed the freak accident robbed him instead of saving him, his heartbroken family have claimed. Jeronimo Garcia Guerra, 69, was potentially trapped under his vehicle for hours in a Phoenix parking lot near 23rd Avenue and Thomas Road before someone called emergency services, according to police. The dad-of-two had been driving his wife Margarita to work the morning of June 17 when her car broke down. Cops believe the jack used to hold up the vehicle as he worked on it collapsed, causing the car to come crashing down on top of him and eventually killing him. But Guerra's devastated family revealed that by the time police arrived on the scene, thieves had stolen everything from the victim's pockets, looted the car he had been attempting to fix and stole the vehicle he arrived in.

Bill Walton, basketball's renaissance man who works with everyone from Jerry Garcia to the Symbionese Liberation Army, is getting his own page in the NBA.

Throw it Down With Bill Walton' is an alternative telecast, but rather than being on cable, fans can watch it on the NBA League Pass subscription service, similar to ESPN's Manningcast, where brothers Peyton and Eli Manning muse about the NFL during Monday Night Football. "This enthralling dream is the thrill, honour, and riches of a lifetime," Walton, a UCLA legend who went on to win NBA championships with the Portland Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics, forgot to mention the 1978 MVP award.'
