An autopsy is scheduled next week to determine the cause of death for a Fairfield teenager found dead at his home.
19-year-old Clark James Ewing was discovered deceased just after 4:30 Tuesday afternoon at his residence located on SW Fourth Street.
The Fairfield City Police Department and the Wayne County Coroner’s Office are actively investigating the circumstances of his death. Fairfield Police Chief, Ben Lewis says Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services was called to the scene due to age and unexpected death. Lewis says at this time, the police department is awaiting autopsy results to determine if the death was suspicious as nothing on scene would indicate that. Attempts to reach authorities with the Wayne County Coroner’s Office have been unsuccessful.
Funeral arrangements for Clark James Ewing are pending with Johnson & Vaughan Funeral Home in Fairfield.
