Police: Sex offender died of strangulation

INDIANAPOLIS - An autopsy shows a convicted sex offender who struggled with a father after entering a teenage girl's Indianapolis bedroom died of strangulation.
Marchele Hall of the Marion County coroner's office says the cause of 52-year-old David T. Meyers' death was ruled Monday to be asphyxia by strangulation with contributing cardiovascular disease.
County prosecutor's office spokesman Matthew Symons says no charges are anticipated against 64-year-old Robert McNally, who locked his arm around Meyers' neck and held him when he found him in his 17-year-old daughter's bedroom early Sunday.
Police said Meyers was naked except for a mask and latex gloves and had entered the home through a window near the girl's bedroom with rope, condoms and a knife.

A VICTORIAN woman who beat a rare flesh-eating disease says she survived the terrifying ordeal only because she was "fat".
Clair Robinson, 23, is lucky to be alive after contracting the killer bacteria following surgery at a regional hospital.
The shop assistant thought she had a fever and stomach ache until she was told the life-threatening condition was eating through her stomach muscles and body tissue.
"Being big saved my life," she said.
"If I had have been smaller it would have eaten my organs and my insides. My kidneys and liver would have been eaten if I hadn't have been big.
"Maybe fat people do have a good life after all."
Ms Robinson contracted the infection, necrotising fasciitis - which is deadly in up to 50 per cent of cases - after an operation to remove cysts from her ovaries.
As Ms Robinson's condition deteriorated, she was airlifted to The Alfred hospital's intensive care ward in a bid to save her. Surgeons operated every three days to remove infected skin and she received hyperbaric treatment.
Medical experts have marvelled at her brave fight, which will be documented on Channel 7's Medical Emergency series on Wednesday.
But the Bendigo woman said her terrifying ordeal was a blur.
"I could hear my mum talking to me, but I was too sick to even move or talk," she said.
"I just had to lay there. Everyone said 'You almost died', but I try not to think too much about that.
"I want to put it all in the past."
Her fiance Ashley Bacon proposed on a recent trip to Venice and they plan to marry on Valentine's Day.
The Alfred's plastic surgery head Michael Leung said Ms Robinson was "very lucky".
"It is a scary condition because a person can go from very healthy to very sick or even die within 24 hours," he said.
