FORT WORTH - Gregory Glenn Biggs apparently lived only hours, not days, after he was struck by a car in October and left to die lodged in the vehicle's windshield, the Tarrant County medical examiner said Tuesday.
Dr. Nizam Peerwani said the extent of Biggs' injuries, including the near amputation of his left leg, indicates the 37-year-old man died of a loss of blood quicker than the two- to three-day time frame police originally stated.
"He couldn't have died instantaneously," Peerwani said. "There was some interval of time before he died. . . .
"No way are we going to support two or three days that he was alive. We are talking in hours."
Chante Mallard, 25, a nurse's aide charged with murder in Biggs' death, remained in Tarrant County Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $250,000.
Police spokesman Duane Paul said investigators received conflicting information about the man's time of death during a Feb. 26 interview with Mallard and from the woman who first tipped police after hearing Mallard discuss the accident in mid-February.
Paul said regardless of how long it took for Biggs to die, evidence shows he was alive after the accident.

Can someone explain why this makes any sort of difference?
