Rusty, apparently. (http://http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i3FQd7wWLlHP6Bcl-NQtgPnxO1jw)(Ooooooooooh he's from Georgia!)
A man who died after being head-butted by an armless man acclaimed for drawings he does with his feet died from a heart attack, not the head-butt, a county medical examiner said Tuesday.
Charles Keith Teer and artist William Russell Redfern scuffled Monday in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home, Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said.
Redfern, who was born with no right arm and a stump below his left shoulder, kicked Teer, and Teer hit Redfern during the fight, which was due to bad blood over a woman who once dated Teer and now dates Redfern, Whitehead told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
After bystanders separated them, Redfern "came back and head-butted (Teer) one time," Whitehead said.

Known by the nickname "Rusty," Redfern made a name for himself in the late 1980s for pen and ink drawings he does using his foot.
According to the Web site for VSA Arts — an affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that promotes and showcases artists with disabilities — Redfern's drawings take one to six months to complete.
He was one of six Georgians who represented the state at the 1989 International Arts Festival in Washington, and was commissioned by Georgia's then-Secretary of State Max Cleland for a series of illustrations depicting the state capitol.
According to the site, he started Redfern Originals Inc. in 1987, producing Christmas cards, stationary and limited-edition prints.
