THE VISIT WAS BRIEF AND THE PLT WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN UPSET AT THE TIME OF DEPARTURE. MEDICAL FINDINGS ON THE PLT CONFIRMED A CONDITION EVIDENT OF HYPERTENSION. THE PLT HAD BEEN TAKING MEDICATION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SINCE 9/84. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF MEDICATION IN THE PLT'S SYSTEM AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
