The Sheriff’s Office was called to investigate an unattended death yesterday, November 8th, at 139 Belle Air Circle in rural Mountain Home.  At approximately 4:28 PM, a neighbor called the Sheriff’s Office to report he had tried to check on the man residing there.  He could see the man slumped over through the doorway but could not rouse him.

     Emergency medical personnel and deputies were dispatched.  Entry was made into the residence.  The man, identified as 28 year old KYLE WAYNE YOUNG, who resided alone there, was found to be deceased.  After examining the scene and speaking with relatives of KYLE YOUNG, there is not believed to have been any foul play involved.  KYLE YOUNG recently left a transitional housing facility in Gassville and had only been in the area a short while.

     The body of the deceased will be sent for autopsy to the Arkansas State Medical Examiner’s Office in Little Rock to determine cause and manner of death.  The investigation will remain open pending the results of the autopsy report.
