In the case that sent him to death row, Garza was convicted of two counts of capital murder for the slayings of the four women. Evidence showed the women were living in the U.S. without legal permission just outside Donna, about 15 miles southeast of McAllen. In his statement to investigators, which Garza insisted was coerced, he said he carried out the ‘hit’ with three other gunmen in two vehicles who opened fire on six women in their parked car.

Snoring: A New Tip-Off To Stroke and Heart Disease
And he hopes doctors will now add snoring to the list of risk factors which currently includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and family history they use to initiate testing and treatment. Our study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that isolated snoring may not be as benign as first suspected, Deeb said in a statement. Patients need to seek treatment in the same way they would if they had sleep apnea, high blood pressure or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. While obstructive sleep apnea (which often develops from snoring) has long been known as an indicator of cardiovascular disease, theres been little evidence up to now to show the damage starts earlier with snoring. While Deeb and Yaremchuk studied the carotid artery, thickening of one type of artery is considered an indication of atherosclerosis in general. Hence the conclusion that snoring is also a tip-off to coronary artery disease, or CAD.
