Altamont death ruled accidental
ALTAMONT — Altamont Police on Monday responded to a call about a dead man at a Main Street residence.
First Sergeant Thomas Funk of the Guilderland Police on Tuesday identified the man as village resident Fred Kuntzsch.
Kuntzsch had owned the home at 174 Main Street. When he talked to The Enterprise a decade ago after a fiery crash in front of his house, where a speeding car had hit his parked pick-up truck, he had worked at Atlas Copco in Voorheesville.
No one witnessed what happened to Kuntzsch on Monday, Funk said.
Funk said the medical examiner ruled Kuntzch’s death an accidental fall, and the cause of death as multiple traumatic injuries.
