AUBURN — Police are investigating the suspicious death of a young man found inside his apartment Monday morning.
Auburn police investigate the suspicious death of a young man found dead inside his Auburn apartment Monday morning at 20 Myrtle St.
A 911 call came in at 5:25 a.m. When police arrived at an apartment at 20 Myrtle St., they found the man dead inside.
The cause of death is unknown at this time and is being treated as suspicious.
The call came from another person living in the apartment.
Detectives expect to be at the scene throughout the day gathering evidence and conducting interviews in the case, Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine State Police, wrote in a prepared statement.
A woman who also lived at the apartment in the duplex was taken to a local hospital for treatment and observation and was admitted, McCausland said.
The man's body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta for an autopsy scheduled for Tuesday. The man's identity is expected to be confirmed at that time, McCausland said, and released after his family has been notified.
According to Auburn Deputy Chief Jason Moen, detectives were the apartment most of the day collecting evidence and conducting interviews.
Police said they planned to search a white Chrysler Sebring convertible parked in the building's driveway.
Members of the Maine State Police Criminal Investigation Division collect evidence at an apartment building on Myrtle Street in Auburn Monday afternoon where a young man was found dead and a woman was hospitalized.

Tron is out of line calling people names, especially a profane remark like, " You are an ass.....". Leads me to believe that poor Tron has nothing better to do!

I have been away from the Lewiston/Auburn area for a few years now, but if I remember correctly Myrtle St was in the heart of a good neighborhood, back in the day. Of course, times and things change.Everyplace has their "not-so-good" neighborhoods, but it doesn't mean that all of the people are bad who live there. People live where they can afford.
Reguarless of why this young man died, my heart and prayers go out to his family, and I hope the woman will be alright.

I'm glad to see that someone still has a heart. That day was a horrible day for a lot of people. Kyle had a lot of friends and people who cared about him. His mother is heartbroken. And to let you know the woman is doing better physically. She was brought to the hospital and admitted into the ICU, she was not in satisfactory condition like the news reported, she was very sick and almost didnt make it. just want to thank you for caring

This has to be one of the most ridiculous blogs I have ever seen. Can't people just get along, and keep to the subject matter? I moved from Lewiston a few years back, but I do still read the Sun-Journal everyday online. It just makes me wnder who is doing the banning of comments, a relative, when tron and Son of tron's are always left to be read? Their family squabbles should be taken up somewhere else, and keep these blogs for the subject at hand. The manner in which comments seem to be chosen to get banned or not, just doesn't seem very proffessional at all.
I normally don't blog, but seeing this today just totally irked me to no end.Tron and Son make me remember one of the reasons I don't usually blog. If their life is so boring that they need to take out their family issues here, then maybe they should just start their own website.
As a matter of fact, I will be very shocked if this comment even gets to make it through.
And why? Because I'm not a tron?

Did antone else notice the chemical containers sitting on the ground behind the car including what sppears to be a paint can? Is it possible this young couple made the unfortunate mistake of mixing chemicals, say amonia and bleach (produces fatal mustard gas) to clean to paint? It is unfortunate but many young people are not taught proper cleaning by parents and do not read labels which can have tragic consequences.

Why is the S&J printing a photograph of a vehicle WITH A VISIBLE plate number? Couldn't we Photoshop this out since this is a possible crime scene?

Auburn is not a bad place, however I walked over to the scene just to check it out and I told the reporters, most of the time when there is trouble in Auburn it's on Myrtle street for some reason, or the next street over Academy. The ex. that burnt his ex girlfriends apartment, the stabbing not too long ago, a big drug raid a few years back. I heard it was a drug over dose too.

I wish you'd both get blocked from commenting. You add nothing with your ridiculous and childish pot shots - you both need to sit in a time out chair. BTW, this story is about a young man's death, it's not about you two and your boring family squabble. You should be ashamed of yourselves for hijacking this story.

Patti, is there a problem here? Others have made similar comments, in fact one of the worst offenders is tron himself...so let me ask - did he call to complain again? And for the record, is he paid or receive any compensation to be on these blogs - several have asked that question...
