A death certificate now shows a German National died

A death certificate now shows a German National died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest during a shootout with the U.S. Border Patrol in Coventry. Felix Bauckholt, 28, died within seconds or minutes of getting shot on Interstate 91 in Coventry about 3:15 p.m. on Jan. 20, according to Dr. Kathleen R. McCabben, deputy chief medical examiner. Bauckholt is listed as transgender by some news accounts and went by the name “Ophelia.” The death certificate did not list a sex, but said he was a quantitative researcher in the trading industry. The doctor listed the time of the shooting as 3:12 p.m. and the time of death as 3:26 p.m. It was unclear why the Office of Vermont’s Chief Medical Examiner held onto the death certificate for three weeks before releasing it Tuesday afternoon. Asked for an explanation, Vermont Health Department spokesman Kyle Kasteel, offered no comment.
