A relative made a tragic discovery at a home on Big Run Road just after 4:30 pm.
A woman called 9-1-1 to report she went to visit a relative but found the bathroom door locked. She believed the nephew was inside but didn’t hear anything and could not get into the room.
Deputies and EMS responded to the home, and a deputy broke into the bathroom and discovered a man deceased inside.
Officers contacted the Scioto County Coroner, who sent a transport to take possession of the deceased.
