Berkeley resident Reed McNally Geritz was found dead on a West Berkeley sidewalk 28 days ago, likely on his way home from a neighborhood bar.

Geritz had a heart condition but, for now, cause of death remains pending. Those determinations generally take 3-6 months.

In recent weeks, reporter Kate Darby Rauch spoke with Reed's family and friends so we could share his story.
