Chehalis police are investigating a situation in which a 42-year-old man was found dead in his home by a friend.

Detective Sgt. Rick McNamara said yesterday it’s not obvious how the man died and they’ll wait for the coroner’s office to determine what happened.

Officers were called to the shared residence on the 100 block of Northeast Division Street about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Based on information at the scene, police are investigating whether its drug-related. It doesn’t look like foul play, according to Deputy Chief Randy Kaut.

McNamara said there was drug paraphernalia present. He didn’t specify what it was.
