News Writer Indiana Central News The Sullivan County Coroner was found dead inside a pickup truck Monday afternoon, from suicide. The body of Tracy L. Tackett, 56, of Sullivan, was positively identified during an autopsy at a Terre Haute hospital Tuesday. Sgt. Matt Ames, of the Indiana State Police, explained the cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head. Tackett was recently under investigation following child solicitation allegations made by video via YouTube nearly one week ago. Officials point out that there were no active arrest warrants for Tackett when he was reported missing by his girlfriend Saturday. Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom, along with other local law enforcement officers, began a search for the man at that time. Cottom eventually located the white Dodge pickup truck in a rural area, just off CR 300 N, near CR 225 E., with the dead man inside around 4:20 p.m. The Vigo County Coroner’s Office assisted with the investigation. |
