A 24-year-old Brown County man is dead after he was found unresponsive in bed by a family member the morning of Aug. 13.

Coroner Earl Piper said the cause of death will be an overdose, but he will have to wait for toxicology results to come back in the next couple of weeks before he can say what drugs were involved.

A press release from the Brown County Sheriff’s Department states that deputies, firefighters and EMS were dispatched to a home on Center Lake Road for an unresponsive man.

Piper said the man was found by his father, who pulled him out of bed and started doing CPR.

Emergency responders continued CPR, but the man was unable to be resuscitated, the release states.

The sheriff’s department is continuing to investigate.

This is the third fatal overdose this year in Brown County.

In January, a 35-year-old man was found dead in bed after he accidentally overdosed on fentanyl.

In May, a 64-year-old man was found in his Nashville apartment by a friend after he had been deceased for about four days. The official cause of that death was an accidental overdose on multiple medications.

Police have responded to six non-fatal overdoses throughout the county this year.

The Nashville Police Department responded to a possible overdose of an unknown drug at the end of July.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Department has dealt with the other five cases. A methamphetamine overdose was reported in March. The same month, a juvenile reportedly overdosed on a prescription drug. On May 16, two juveniles overdosed on unknown substances, the sheriff’s department reported. A heroin overdose was reported at the beginning of August.

In 2017, three people died of accidental overdoses in the county, the same number as in 2016. Two of the fatal overdoses in 2017 involved fentanyl, according to coroner records.
