An autopsy confirms that Davy Jones, star of 1960s band The Monkees, died of a heart attack.

Ok, so let's review from last night! I brought up the subject of another medical marijuana facility being proposed…this time in Jackson. Would you have a problem if one were being proposed for where you live? (Vote below!) And the answers didnt surprise me...
