LINEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Two Lineville men have been charged with manslaughter in the death of a 12-year-old boy from the Delta community.
Authorities said Monday they are withholding much of the information surrounding th4e case of John Henry Bean’s death Friday night.
Steve Cotney, spokesman for the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, said the child, John Henry Bean, went unconscious Friday night while hanging out with friends, but could not say what authorities believe happened to him.
Cotney said the boy’s death seemed suspicious to officers, who quickly began an investigation.
Cotney said two family friends Bean had been with that evening, 22-year-old Christopher Gene Poore and 18-year-old Ronald Patrick Cornelius, were arrested late Saturday night and charged with manslaughter.
Cotney said more information could be released later this week.
