Two Brothers Man Found Dead In His Bathtub Might Have Met With Foul Play

FREDERIKSTED — Police suspect foul play after a middle-aged man was found dead in his bathtub in Two Brothers.

The 911 Emergency Call Center further aired that a concerned citizen was calling the individual but there was no response, and the door was open, according to the VIPD. The female then saw a police squad car traveling westbound and flagged down the officers for assistance.

“The officers made a check inside the residence and discovered an unresponsive black middle-aged male in the bathroom laying in the shower-tub,” VIPD Communications Director Glen Dratte said. “Foul play is suspected, and the investigation is ongoing.”
