A 19-year-old suspect is jailed in Kandiyohi County in connection with the drug overdose death of a man in Willmar.

Willmar Police say that just before 1 p.m. Friday a 9-1-1 call was received indicating a 26-year-old male was found not breathing at a residence in northwest Willmar. Lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful, and the man died.

Police believed he died of a drug overdose, and in the course of an investigation, they identified a suspect they thought sold the drugs to the victim. A search warrant was performed at a Willmar home Tuesday morning, and a 19-year-old man was arrested on potential charges of third-degree murder and third-degree controlled substance crimes.
