Upstate Youth Held in Death of Father
ThOMPSON, March 9 - (AP) A teenage boy has been charged with aggravated assault for having allegedly struck his father on the head with a frying pan. The father died last night.

State police said Allan Korch, Sr., 38, was hit on the head Wednesday night by Allan Korch, Jr., 17, during an argument at the family's home in the Wilsonville section of this northeast Connecticut town.

The boy's bond was set at $2,500.

The father had been drinking earlier in the evening, state police said. Korch's wife and their two other sons were home during the fight, they said.

Korch was first taken to Day-Kimball Memorial hospital in Putnam and later moved to Hartford hospital, where he died.
