Cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Next-of-kin notifi-

Shortly before 1 a.m. June 9th, Citrus County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers got a call

ref: the death of a teenage boy by what appears to be a shotgun wound to the head.

Austin Porter, 18, of Inverness was staying at a friend’s house in Hernando, 7089

N. Palmer Way, where he and acquaintances had been passing around a shotgun.

At some point, the gun apparently discharged, and Porter suffered a fatal head

wound. The autopsy is scheduled in Leesburg where the medical examiner’s office will be

determining the specific cause and manner of the teen’s death.

sassa suffering from labored breathing and difficulty speaking. EMS transported the man
