Death Of Man Found Stabbed With Zip Ties Around Neck At Romulus Park Ruled Suicide

ROMULUS (WWJ) - Although the case started as a murder investigation, officials say the death of a man who was found stabbed and strangled at a Downriver park has been ruled a suicide.

The Wayne County Medical Examiner on Friday said 21-year-old Brandon Mahon died of a stab wound to the chest and ligature strangulation.

Mahon's body was found early Thursday morning outside of his car parked at St. John's Lodge Community Park, near Merriman and Henry Ruff roads in Romulus. He had been stabbed and zip ties were bound around his neck.

Michigan State Police say investigators initially thought Mahon had been murdered until autopsy results provided critical information in the case.
