According to TMZ, Jim Neidhart's wife Elizabeth (Ellie) Neidhart told investigators that Jim was having problems sleeping and got our out of bed to adjust the theromostat.

Ellie then said that as Neidhart went to touch it, he turned "weirdly" as if he was "about to dance", then fell into the wall and ground.  Ellie immediately dialed 911, believing he was having a seizure, something he was taking medication for.

Neidhart had four-inch gash on his face when EMTs arrived.

Pasco County police have already stated they do not believe there was any foul play involved.  There was medication in Neidhart's home, but according to the TMZ.com report, it did not appear to have been abused.

Jim Neidhart was 63 years old.
