Man dies in aisle of Target store on Black Friday forcing shoppers to go around him

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The wife of a Logan County pharmacist who died after collapsing while shopping in South Charleston on Black Friday said he loved to shop for Christmas.

Walter Vance, 61, of Chapmanville, collapsed just after midnight Friday at Target in The Shops at Trace Fork on Corridor G, said Lynn Vance.

Walter Vance had a history of heart problems and had undergone bypass surgery about 10 years ago, Lynn Vance said.

Some media outlets that reported on Walter Vance's death said a number of shoppers continued by him and did not stop to check on him after he collapsed.
