Simmesport Mayor James “Boo” Fontenot is dead Monday night after he collapsed in his office in mid-afternoon.
NewsChannel Five was told that Fontenot was complaining of chest pains before he collapsed and that the Police Chief was summoned to his office.
Mayor Fontenot was flown to a hospital in Marksville where he was pronounced dead. A city hall employee and a police officer told NewsChannel Five that doctors suspect it was a heart attack, but no independent confirmation, yet, from the hospital or an official press release from city hall.
Reports say the funeral will be handled by the Escude Funeral Home in Mansura.
