The caller said someone had been stabbed. The victim, identified as Gregory Meyer, later died of a chest wound at a Cheyenne hospital. A later portion of the affidavit says Gish is still legally married to his wife and lives at her home with his adult daughter, but that he and the wife have been long separated and are not romantically involved.
The wife was most recently in a relationship with Meyer, who frequents the house. The wife told deputies she was in the kitchen during the scuffle. In a follow-up interview between Gish and a deputy, Gish, like his daughter, voiced negative opinions of Meyer , but said he was able to get along with him. Gish denied stabbing Meyer on purpose and said it happened in the course of the struggle, the affidavit adds.
An autopsy performed Friday in Fort Collins, Colorado, returned a finding that Meyer died of a single stab wound to his left chest area, which injured his lung and heart. The affidavit notes that the men weighed about the same but at 5-foot, Gish was 2 inches taller than Meyer.
