Pike County Coroner Doesn't Expect Drowning To Be Cause Of Death For Pike County Man
Pike County Coroner Russell Roberts said an autopsy report should be back within the next six weeks for a Pike County man that died after he was swimming at the Elkhorn City Pool last Friday.
Roberts says that 20 year –old Brian K. Matlock of Greasy Creek was swimming with his foster sister. Matlock was bobbing up an down in the water. He was pulled back to the surface by his foster sister after she realized that he was underwater for a longer amount of time. Roberts says that he told emergency officials that he was "ok" before he blacked out. Matlock later passed away at Pikeville Medical Center.
Roberts said he doesn’t expect Matlock’s death to be ruled a drowning. The coroner suspects that Matlock had a medical issue.
