Final autopsy results are in relating to the case of an Ozark businessman that was found dead inside the car dealership he co-owned.

Christian County Coroner Arthur Adams says, "I amended the original death certificate that I signed regarding Rufus Church from homicide to pending investigation after information was brought to me by the Highway Patrol and the Ozark Police Department."

Adams would not discuss toxicology or other lab results related to the case saying, "I will only release those to the family or the family's lawyers."

The Ozark police department called in the Highway Patrol to help in the "homicide investigation" into Church's death and has been released very little information about the investigation.

Ozark police chief Lyle Hodges is out of the office until next week, however in the past he has said," the case is ongoing and they have not ruled out if it was a suicide or homicide," adding "that the public shouldn't be worried that there is a killer on the loose."

Church was found dead from a single shotgun blast to the chest inside the garage/service bay area of Ozark Dodge on March 23rd.
