Sheriff Rob Seale said they are waiting on results of a medical
examination to see if Joshua Teves died of an ailment or a drug
overdose.
His body was discovered in a pond
located west of Talihina Monday, January 27 in approximately three
inches of water. Teves, 19, had been reported missing from the Talihina area the previous week. According to the Sheriff's office, the body was sent
to the state medical examiner's office to determine cause of death.
It could take several weeks for the examination to be completed. In
the meantime the investigation is being conducted as a homicide. Seales
said if Teves' body was dump- ed in the pond after his death by someone,
they could face felony charges. This is due to Oklahoma having a
statute against improper disposal of a body.
