DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The legislative session is only a couple months old, but some bills have already been deemed dead for the year. Because of a procedural deadline, bills that haven’t passed at least one committee by last week are done for the session. That means action likely won’t be taken on bills dealing with professional licensing, the death penalty and a comprehensive medical marijuana program, though some failed proposals can occasionally be resurrected.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dr. Thomas Starzl, who pioneered liver transplant surgery in the 1960s and was a leading researcher into anti-rejection drugs, has died. The University of Pittsburgh, on behalf of his family, says he died Saturday at his home in Pittsburgh. He was 90.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of an 18-year-old man as a homicide after his body was found in Davenport. The Quad-City Times reports that Demetrius Allen’s body was found with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of Brady Street Stadium.
