Autopsy Of Buchanan Man Indicates Foul Play

Virginia’s medical examiner in Roanoke determined that an incised wound to the neck caused the death of Gregory Allen Brown, 43, of Grundy, Virginia. 

An “incised wound” is a sharp, cut-like injury - such as a cut made by a knife or broken glass. The weapon in this incident, however, has not been determined.

Sheriff’s deputies say they discovered Brown’s body on Saturday, March 14, 2009, at 5:30 a.m. after responding to a call for assistance at Tony Stilner’s home in the Leetown section of Buchanan County.

The sheriff’s department is investigating the death as a homicide.  Investigators did not reveal the identity of the suspect or suspects, but say charges are pending.
