One man is dead and another man has been arrested and jailed on drug charges following an incident in Schuylkill County last week.
State police at Frackville said around 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, troopers responded to a home on Fourth Street in Kelayres, Kline Township, for a death investigation.
On scene, troopers found a 42-year-old man dead of an apparent drug overdose.
A search warrant was executed on the residence and 10 bundles of suspected heroin (106 bags), a small amount of suspected methamphetamine and numerous drug paraphernalia were found.
Troopers said as a result, Salvadore Craig, 44, of Kelayres, was taken into custody.
He was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was arraigned by on-call District Judge David Rossi, of Tremont, and committed to the county prison in Pottsville, after failing to post $20,000 straight cash bail.
The investigation into the death of the man, whose name is being withheld at this time, is continuing, troopers said.
