A young Brunswick man was found dead in Medina’s industrial district on Monday afternoon.
Medina police say they are investigating 20-year-old Brandon Lamiell’s death as suspicious. They declined to release details on the state of his body, explaining autopsy and toxicology reports have not been completed. His cause of death has not been determined.
Lt. Dave Birckbichler said Lamiell’s body was found at about 12:30 p.m. in what he described as an open shed or pole barn with no doors. The structure is on the property of a private business on West Smith Road within the city’s limits.
Birckbichler said some of the man’s friends had been searching for him for a couple of days.
Asked for more details, Birckbichler said he would wait until the Medina County coroner’s reports are complete.
“We’re going to wait for the coroner’s report, when they do a detailed physical examination, to see about the state of his body,” he said. “I think the toxicology report will be enlightening.”
