Kalispell police

Kalispell police found nothing criminal after a man reported a disturbing discovery at his house. He told police that in his wife's file box, she had a signed death certificate for him. The document listed his cause of death as blunt force to the head from a vehicle accident. Police Chief Frank Garner said officers found no evidence that the woman had used the phony document for insurance fraud or other nefarious reasons.

Police are investigating a number of break-ins and attempted break-ins to construction trailers. Thousands of dollars' worth of tools were taken.
