MERCER COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Investigators say they found a 48-year-old veteran dead in his Mercer County home Friday night.

They tell us James Price had health issues but they believe there could be more to his death.

Deputies are calling his death suspicious because they say he was alive when he left UK Hospital Friday afternoon but he was found dead not long after he was dropped off at home.

"I thought it was all very strange," said a neighbor who didn’t want to be identified.

He says he called 911 when he saw Price fall out of a Lexington taxi on South Cedar Lane about 6 p.m. Friday.

"The guy kind of fell out, he couldn't sit up, stand up or anything. The cab driver picked him up from behind and carried and dragged him into the house and laid him on a couch and left," said the neighbor.
