SUICIDE SHOCKS SMALL SEATTLE SUBURB-Page 3 [Photo of the motel where the body was found.] The small suburb of Bothell was shocked Wednesday after the body of a young man, later identified as Brandon Stephenson a local Bothell resident, was found dead from an apparent drug overdose. Stephenson's body was found in a motel room, by motel staff, early Wednesday afternoon. Police were notified immediately, and while the death is suspicious, they are not considering foul play. A source in the Seattle Police Department, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the man had been found with drug paraphernalia in the room and there was evidence of drug use. A source who knew the deceased also said that Mr. Stephenson had no prior history of drug addiction, which leads them to label his death a suicide at this time. The coroner's office will perform an autopsy to officially determine cause of death, toxicology reports could take up to four weeks.
