OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. — Old Saybrook police are investigating the untimely death that has also led to a risk of injury arrest.
Police said officers were called to a home on Turnstone Drive at around 6:45 p.m. Friday for an unresponsive person.
Responding officers found a man in the driveway of a home, police said. They initiated CPR treatment, but the victim, later identified as Michael Sanders, 53, of Old Lyme, was declared dead.
Sanders is not a resident of the home.
After an initial investigation, John Lambe, 42, a resident of the home, was taken into custody on two counts of risk of injury to a minor. Following a search in the Turnstone Drive home, Lambe was also charged with possession of cocaine.
When investigators searched the home, they seized cellphones, cocaine and other narcotics and drug paraphernalia, a handgun, and a vehicle.
He is being held on a $75,000 bond.
“The matter has been deemed an isolated incident,” said Chief Michael A. Spera, “The public is not in danger. Our criminal investigation remains active and additional charges are possible.”
