Heart condition apparent cause of Morrison man's death

MORRISON – A heart condition apparently caused the death of a 21-year-old Morrison man who was found dead in his car on the morning of Oct. 30, Whiteside County Coroner Joe McDonald said.

Autopsy and toxicology reports reveal that Keegan P. Plaugic died from cardiac arrhythmia, an interruption of the heart’s normal rhythm caused by an enlarged heart, McDonald said.

Plaugic worked at the Walmart Distribution Center in Sterling. He was survived by, among others, his mother, Rosemary Monroe, and sisters Sabrina Stock and Adrienne Plaugic, all of Morrison.
