Ministry worker Matthew Selwyn was discovered dead in his home today by Hitwizards. The DMLE was alerted to his absence by concerned co-workers in the Ministry.
The cause of death was reported as snake bite, and the serpent was discovered within Selwyn's household. The death is being treated as suspicious after a box was found on the kitchen table, presumably the container for the deadly serpent.
A post-mortem examination of the body revealed a scar on Selwyn's forearm, matching the scars shared by followers of You-Know-Who.
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has issued a statement in which they promise to pursue a full investigation into Selwyn's life and possible alignment with the terrorist organisation known as the Death Eaters.
