Police investigating the death of young man in Madison County
Investigators aren’t saying much about a death at a Venice apartment complex Thursday morning.
Newly-appointed Venice Police Chief Antonio White said police were called to the Bessel Apartments in the 1300 block of Kline at about 1:45 a.m. He described the deceased person as a young man, but said he could not confirm a name, date of birth or cause of death.
White said the man was found outside the building. Asked if any weapons are evidence was recovered to indicate the nature of the death, he said only “that aspect is being investigated.”
The Madison County Coroner’s office said the man died at a St. Louis hospital.
Illinois State Police are assisting in the investigation, White said.
