Handyman Arraigned In Death Of Former Mouseketeer Dennis Day

(Phoenix, OR)  --  A man is facing charges in connection to the death of a former member of TV's original "Mickey Mouse Club."  Court records show 36-year-old Daniel James Burda was arraigned in Jackson County Circuit Court Monday on multiple charges, including manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and abuse of a corpse.  Police arrested him last week for the death of former Mouseketeer Dennis Day.  Police found Day's decomposed body in April inside the Phoenix, Oregon home he shared with his husband, 88-year-old Henry "Ernie" Caswell.  Authorities had been searching for Day after he mysteriously disappeared last July.  Investigators say Burda worked as a handyman for the couple and occasionally stayed at their home in exchange for doing work around the house.
