"Meanwhile, the father of one of the three suspects died over the weekend and an autopsy was planned to determine the cause.
Nassau County Police Sgt. Anthony Repalone said officers were called to a North Merrick home at about 10 a.m. Sunday, where they found a 40-year-old man dead in his bed. An autopsy was being performed, but Repalone noted that the results of toxicology tests could take up to three weeks to determine a cause of death."
