A death investigation in Rockcastle County led to a drug investigation and arrest.
On Monday, KSP Detectives assisted the Mount Vernon Police Department on a death investigation that was being conducted at the Econo-Lodge Hotel.
The Coroner states that a body was found, but it appeared the victim died of natural causes. Upon further investigation, detectives obtained two separate search warrants for two residences.
