STARKVILLE — A Dispatch newspaper carrier who was seriously injured in an early December accident died this weekend in Jackson, according to a long-time friend and fellow carrier.
Winston Minor died Sunday morning at University of Mississippi Medical Center, said Mary Tallent, who has been in close touch with Minor’s family since the accident Dec. 6 at Highway 182 and Highway 82, just east of Starkville. Over the past few weeks, Minor’s condition improved slightly, Tallent said, as “he did regain consciousness and he was aware of everything.”
Minor couldn’t talk, but he could “motion and make signs,” Tallent said.
“He understood what was going on,” she said.
But Minor went into cardiac arrest last week and his heart stopped Sunday, Tallent said.
“His heart just stopped and they couldn’t get it to start back,” she said.
