WESTVILLE, Okla. -- The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the death of a Westville police officer in the town in eastern Oklahoma.
The OSBI said Wednesday the body of 24-year-old Brandon Lee Pelfrey was found by officers in his home Tuesday night. Pelfrey hadn't shown up for his shift at work in the Adair County town of about 1,700 residents just across the Arkansas-Oklahoma line near Summers, Ark.
Officers found Pelfrey dead in his bedroom and investigators say they found no trauma to Pelfrey's body, but his death is being investigated as suspicious because of Pelfrey's age and his occupation.
The Office of the State Medical Examiner will do an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
