Barron County Sheriff Investigates Suspicious Death Of Nicole Bohannon

BARRON COUNTY, Wis. (WCCO) - Officials in western Wisconsin say a 24-year-old woman is dead, and are treating her death as suspicious.

The Barron County Sheriff' Department says deputies responded to a hospital for an unresponsive woman on Friday, who was pronounced dead. She was identified as Nicole Bohannon, and a possible factor in her death was a drug overdose.

A man was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant.

After Bohannon's death, officers executed a search warrant at the 2500 block of 8 1/4 Avenue, and recovered several drug-related items.

The case remains under investigation by the Barron County Medical Examiner's Office.
