Coos Bay homicide victim suffered skull fractures, stab wounds

COOS BAY, Ore. - A man found dying in his driveway Saturday night suffered multiple blows to his head and stab wounds to his body, according to an autopsy completed Tuesday.

The man died later at the hospital. Authorities are still looking for his killer.

Randall Leroy Harless, 55, died from traumatic brain injury caused by blunt force trauma, the autopsy found. The blows caused several skull fractures.

Harless also suffered multiple stab wounds in his side and shoulder, including one to his lung and one to his liver.
