Middlefield – A security camera video captured the last hour and 40 minutes of James M. Mason’s life as the frail 73-year-old battled with his much younger, transgender wife in the pool of their apartment complex.
Mason had a heart attack on June 2 in the pool of the Middlefield Village Apartments and died a day later. Middlefield Police Chief Joseph A. Stehlik said the department had had run-ins with the couple before, and was immediately suspicious when officers responded to a call of an “unresponsive subject” in the water.
