The death of a man whose body was found in April in Dayton has been ruled an accident by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

Dayton police were dispatched the morning of April 30 to a report of a person down in the 2200 block of Oakridge Drive, where they found the body of a man later identified by the coroner’s office as 32-year-old Joshua M. T. Brown of Huber Heights.

The coroner’s office determined Brown’s death was accidental due to fentanyl, acetylfentanyl and cocaine intoxication.

His death was under investigation by the department’s homicide unit, Lt. Steven Bauer said previously. A police spokesman said Thursday that the case remains under investigation.
