PITTSBURGH – Police have arrested a 17-year-old boy accused of robbing an usher who worked at the baseball stadium where the Pittsburgh Pirates play after he stopped his car while having a heart attack on his way home from an extra-inning game.
Police aren't identifying the suspect because of his age. They said Tuesday he approached the car and pulled out 58-year-old driver Michael Schacht, who had been slumped over and in distress. They say he stole the man's wallet and drove off in his car, leaving him on the ground.
Police were puzzled by the man's death because he had only a superficial head injury when he was found April 10 a mile from PNC Park.
The suspect doesn't qualify to be charged as an adult. He's being taken to a juvenile detention facility.

If I am reading this story right, the man died from the heart attack?
I hope the 17 year old is being charged as an adult for involuntary manslaughter, robbery and whatever else they can come up with. He had ample opportunity to help and instead, left him to die!

This kid doesn't qualify to be charged as an adult? He didn't help a dying man and then he stole his car! Our current judicial system will just slap his hands and get him back out on the street to perform another crime. This way our lawyers and judges have plenty of work, (job security). A 150 years ago the 17 year old would be hung for stealing a horse.
