SUSPECT IN DRUG BUST DIES AFTER BEING ARRESTED

The suspect behind a massive drug bust in Beaverlodge last month 
won't be charged by police after all, but it's for a good reason.

The man died the day after the arrest.

On Feb. 10, Beaverlodge RCMP seized 450 marijuana plants in a strange 
set of circumstances. Police received a gun complaint at a residence 
that turned out to be fake.

But when police investigated the complaint they become suspicious, 
obtained a search warrant and raided the home later that day, finding 
the drugs, guns and stolen property.

No charges were ever laid. RCMP confirmed on Monday their suspect 
ended up dying of natural causes the day after the search. No names 
or other circumstances are being released. RCMP are only saying the 
suspect was 58-years-old.
