Reese Photog ID'd
February 24, 2006
Authorities have finally confirmed that a body discovered in a Los Angeles apartment earlier this month was Todd Wallace--the paparazzo accused of harassing Reese Witherspoon and her brood at a Disney theme park last fall.
Wallace was found dead in his Brentwood digs on Feb. 5. Neither police nor the coroner immediately identified the body as the 44-year-old photographer, but friends who discovered the corpse indicated that it was indeed him.
Brenda Shafer, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County coroner, said Friday that it was Wallace but said toxicology tests were needed before a cause of death could be determined. Those tests could take six to eight weeks.
