(MEROM) - Sullivan County Police have arrested 26-year-old Conner Wright of Shelburn for his involvement in a heroin death.
According to Sheriff Clark Cottom, on Oct. 14, 2017, deputies responded with fire rescue personnel and paramedics to a report of an unconscious male at a residence in Merom.
First responders attempted life-saving measures prior to transporting 26-year-old Langdon Bynum of Merom to Sullivan County Community Hospital, where he later died.
An autopsy confirmed Bynum died for a heroin overdose.
Sheriff's Detective Ron Elliott, who headed up the investigation says it took several months to establish exactly who provided heroin to Bynum.
