Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him of murder in the second degree (Penal Law § 125.25 [3] [two counts]), robbery in the first degree (Penal Law § 160.15 [4]), and burglary in the first degree (Penal Law § 140.30 [4]), defendant contends that the People’s presentation of false evidence rendered the Grand Jury proceedings defective and the evidence before the Grand Jury insufficient; that County Court committed reversible error in marshaling trial evidence that had not been presented to the Grand Jury; that defendant was deprived of a fair trial as a result of prosecutorial misconduct; that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence on the issue whether defendant caused the victim’s death; that the court erred in permitting the victim’s treating physician to testify concerning the cause of death; that the court erred in failing to give a missing witness charge; and that the sentence is unduly harsh or severe.
There is no indication that the People knowingly or deliberately presented false testimony before the Grand Jury, and thus there is no basis for finding that the integrity of the Grand Jury proceedings was impaired or the indictment rendered defective by the alleged false testimony (see, People v Pelchat, 62 NY2d 97, 107; People v Andrews, 274 AD2d 835, 837; People
The verdict is not against the weight of the evidence on the issue whether the fright and stress of the break-in and gunpoint robbery caused the victim’s death two days later (see, People v Burnett, 205 AD2d 792, 793, lv denied 84 NY2d 866; People v Seymour, 183 AD2d 35, 36-37, lv denied 81 NY2d 766; see generally, People v Ingram, 67 NY2d 897; Matter of Anthony M., 63 NY2d 270). The court properly refused to give a missing witness charge with respect to defendant’s accomplice, who was living in England at the time of trial and thus was neither available to testify nor under the control of the People (see, People v Delacruz, 276 AD2d 387; People v Escalera, 220 AD2d 259, lv denied 87 NY2d 846; see generally, People v Gonzalez, 68 NY2d 424, 427-428).
We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Wyoming County Court, Griffith, J. — Murder, 2nd Degree.) Present — Pigott, Jr., P. J., Green, Wisner, Kehoe and Burns, JJ.
