Flags at half-staff for White

OLYMPIA -- Flags will be flyiing at half-staff at state buildings for state Sen. Scott White, who died over the weekend.

The Kittitas County coroner said White, 41, died of a previously undiagnosed enlarged heart. He was found in his hotel room at a resort near Cle Elum by hotel staff.

Gov. Chris Gregoire ordered the flags to stay at half-staff until after the memorial services are complete.
