Two Deaths Reported At Wv Young-adult Transitional Living Program

By Erin Beck In recent weeks, two young men have died of self-inflicted injuries at a Tucker County facility that markets itself as appropriate for those who are mentally ill or developmentally disabled. On Dec. 21, staff members at Q&A Associates found a 19-year-old man dead in a barn at the group's facility. In an unattended-death report obtained from Tucker County Prosecuting Attorney Ray LaMora through a Freedom of Information Act request, Q&A staff member Keith Bishop said he heard other clients yell for help around 2:30 p.m., just before the body was discovered. Bishop wrote that Irene Crowl, another staff member, told him she couldn't find the client at 2:15 p.m.
