Darrell L. Aldridge, 36, was reported to have died in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 10, 2007. A working mechanic, he was memorialized by family and friends with visitation on March 16 at M.J. Edwards Funeral Home in Whitehaven and services the following afternoon at Macedonia Baptist Church on Fields Road. The obituary emphasizes his work, faith, and community ties but does not specify a cause of death.

The circumstances of accountability therefore remain unclear.
