Palau’s Director of the Bureau of Public Safety claims that drowning likely caused Tyler Henry’s death.
Henry, a 20-year old local male was reported missing last week prompting a search operation that led to the discovery of his lifeless body.
He was found inside of his vehicle, a blue Toyota Marino, which was submerged underwater three-days after he was reported missing to authorities.
Reports indicate that an anonymous relative of Henry suspects that foul play was involved in his death further pointing to lack of skid marks where Henry’s vehicle traveled before hitting the waters off M-dock.
However police are leading towards drowning as the “most possible” cause of death.
It’s not clear if evidence collected pointed towards this theory, but an autopsy have not been conducted yet to reveal the exact cause of death.
It’s also not clear at this point if police are looking at alcohol as a possible factor.
The autopsy is reportedly set to be conducted today April 15, 2014.
OTV attempted to contact Director Aguon for more details regarding the investigation, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to reach him by this news report.
