VAN BUREN TWP. — An overdose is suspected to be the cause of death for a 30-year-old man who was found in his bedroom on June 23.

This is the second suspected overdose death in less than a week in Brown County.

Police, Coroner Earl Piper and EMS responded to a home in the 7100 block of State Road 135 South just before 11 a.m June 23 after the man’s father called 911.

Piper said on June 24 that an overdose was suspected to be the cause of death, due to paraphernalia and narcotics found in the room.

A toxicology test will be done and the results will be available in the next three to four weeks. The narcotic found at the scene was not recognizable by either Piper or law enforcement, so toxicology results will help to determine what it was, Piper said last week.

On June 18, a 26-year-old Brown County man was found dead in bed by his grandparents at their home on West Gould Street in Nashville. Evidence found at the scene and on the victim’s body indicated that drugs were involved.

Both men had a history of drug use.

The Brown County Democrat does not normally name people who die from overdoses.
