Tuesday night, Lagrange County Sheriff's Deputies were called to a home at 6445 N 300 E for a welfare check. Family had not heard from Richard Skeens, and couldn't get an answer at the door or by phone.
Once Deputies arrived to the home and made entry, they located the body of Richard Skeens inside the home. A LaGrange County Coroner pronounced Skeens dead on scene. The death appears to be from natural causes and no foul play is suspected.
