SHEBOYGAN, WI (WTAQ) – A woman and a teen are being accused of hiding the body of a man who overdosed inside a wall.
Police were initially called to a home in the 1300 block of Michigan Avenue following the report of an overdose on Nov. 18.
The victim was not found when they arrived, but two days later, police received information from a citizen that the overdose victim may be concealed inside the home.
When they returned they discovered the body of 30-year-old Matthew Mercure inside a crawlspace in the wall.
Investigators say, based on information, that charges are being referred for a 16-year-old boy and a 29-year-old woman. It’s believed by officials that the pair witnessed Mercure’s overdose, panicked and then hid the body.
