On 11/28/18, Sheboygan Police referred a number of charges to the Sheboygan County District Attorney’s Office for review on a 16 year old male and the 29 year old female resident in connection with this investigation.  Sheboygan Police have determined that the victim, Matthew Mercure, overdosed while in the company of several subjects including the resident.  These subjects panicked and concealed the victim’s body.  Cooperating citizens called the police department upon learning of the event leading to the discovery of the body.  The incident remains under investigation and anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Sheboygan Police at 920-459-3333.
