Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Winemaker Paul Pender, known for his deep involvement in Niagara's wine community and as the maker of organic wines for Vineland's Tawse winery, has died and a Hamilton man has been charged with second-degree murder.

Police said Pender died Thursday night following an incident in Selkirk, Ont., near Lake Erie, where he has a cottage. 

A resident of Grimsby, Ont., Pender was the well-known head winemaker for Tawse Wine and Spirits. He also roasted coffee for Hamilton's Vintage Coffee Roasters.
