OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are checking whether the death of an Iowa man after an Omaha accident was related to the extreme heat.

Omaha police say officers were dispatched to a field in east-central Omaha about 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. They found a man who had collapsed about a half-mile east of a vehicle that had crashed into a dirt mound in a construction zone.

Police say he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Medical officials say his core body temperature had reached 110 degrees. The National Weather Service says the temperature was 101 about the time of the accident.

The man was identified as 48-year-old Paul Tamayo, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

An autopsy has been scheduled.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An 18-year-old has been found guilty of second-degree murder in Omaha.

Online court records say Daion Williams also was convicted on Tuesday of a weapons charge.

Williams was tried as an adult for a fatal shooting that occurred on Nov. 29 last year, when Williams was 17. Police say he fatally shot 20-year-old Bryant Morgan as a result of a love triangle involving Williams, Morgan and a teenage girl.

OGALLALA, Neb. (AP) — The Dundy County attorney has been convicted of one theft charge and acquitted of two more in Keith County.

Local media reports that Blake Edwards is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 15 in Keith County District Court.

Authorities said that when Edwards was Keith County attorney, about $18,000 in county money was taken between 2007 and 2009. Edwards said he used the money to buy office equipment for a diversion program, reimbursements for other official purchases and for donations to a nonprofit organization.

Edwards lost his re-election bid in 2010 and then became county attorney for Dundy County.

Related charges filed against Edwards’ wife, Shirley, were dropped. She’d worked in the Keith County prosecutor’s office.

Blake Edwards didn’t return a call Thursday from The Associated Press.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska landowners have until Monday to protest any changes in the value of their property over the past year.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — It’s bath time for “Archie.”

Crews at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln will be giving the life-sized bronze replica of an ancient Nebraska mammoth,

dubbed “Archie,” a scrub down and waxing on Thursday.

The statue gets a good cleaning every two years. The process is expected to take most of the morning Thursday.

Created by sculptor Fred Hoppe of Malcolm, the statue was cast in 1998 at the Caleco Foundry in Cody, Wyo., and installed on Tanner Plaza in October that year.

Patterned after the giant fossil skeleton on display in the museum’s Elephant Hall, the statue is 15-feet, 7-inches tall and weighs 5,000 pounds. The real mammoths that roamed the Great Plains some 30,000 years ago weighed about 15 tons.
