The Perry Police Department is currently investigating the suspicious death of two men on Thursday. Since both men were seen having drinks at the 98 bar in Perry before going home, police believe the two deaths may be linked. Emergency Medical Services personnel arrived at their separate residences to find the men unresponsive and later pronounced them dead.
An autopsy was performed on both men and the police department is waiting for the results. Partly due to a toxicology screen that was also performed on both men, the results could take several weeks to come back. In the meantime, police officers are interviewing all potential witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact the lead detective on the case, Det. David Gorby, at 850-584-5121 or 850-584-2429.
