POWELL COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT)- A man has been arrested and is now facing charges of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence after the Powell County Coroner removed a body from his apartment early Tuesday morning.
Neighbors in the apartment complex where the body was found say they had been smelling something over the past few days.
Investigators discovered the body late Monday night and say Jeremiah Vaught lived in the same apartment where the body was found.
According to an arrest citation, Vaught and the victim got into a fight that ended in the victim's death. Investigators do not know who the victim is at this time. Vaught is accused of keeping the victim's body in the apartment, wrapped in a blanket for 4 to 5 days. Police say he also cleaned and removed items from the apartment.
