Man Dies After Work Trailer Stolen

A Taylorsville family is hoping to get a stolen trailer filled with tools back. Right after the owner discovered the trailer missing, the family said he died of a heart attack. Patrick Kartchner realized the trailer was gone Monday morning as he went outside for work. Kartchner’s daughter Jadian said she and her mom immediately got up and began driving around the neighborhood in search of the trailer, which contained the family’s livelihood. Patrick called police, and she said that her dad began to panic as he talked to a police officer on the phone. The officer tried to calm Kartchner down. Not long after that moment of panic, Patrick suffered a heart attack and passed away. Unified Police are now investigating who stole the trailer.
