OSBI special agents are investigating the death of a Westville police officer. Brandon Lee Pelfrey, 24, did not show up for his shift at work Tuesday evening. Concerned officers went to his home nearby to check on him. Officers found Pelfrey dead in his bedroom. OSBI agents documented the scene and conducted interviews of those who lived inside the home. Agents found no trauma to the body. However, because of Pelfrey’s age and his occupation, OSBI is investigating the death as suspicious. The medical examiner will perform an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
