Police said the death was not considered suspicious at the time. An autopsy was done later that day, but police have not revealed how Hosky died “to protect the ongoing investigation.”

Homicide detectives later determined he had been killed at the hands of someone else, and are looking to speak to anyone who may have information about the death.
