Authorities found bomb-making materials and other hazardous materials in a Bay Village home where a 29-year-old man died Tuesday, police said.
Investigators found Stephen P. Gurley’s body and the hazardous materials about 1:30 p.m. in his upstairs bedroom in an Arlington Circle home in the Huntington Woods development on Bradley Road, Bay Village police said.
Police and firefighters were called to the home about 1 p.m. after someone made a report that a man, later identified as Gurley, was not breathing. Gurley suffered head trauma, but a statement released Wednesday by police said that investigators are unsure if someone inflicted the injury or if he suffered it in a fall.
Investigators found the suspicious materials, including a live pipe bomb, in the bedroom. They also discovered several inactive pipe bombs and additional chemicals.
