Police believe a prescription drug overdose may be the cause behind the death of a 14-year-old boy from Junction City Area.

An autopsy was performed on Sunday in Madison, but results have yet to be released.

However, there has been a suspect taken into custody after talking with witnesses. Police say the 14-year-old suspect cooperated when taken into custody on Saturday and admitted to police his involvment in what is believed to be the cause of death of the 14-year-old victim.

Sergeant Greg Bean of the Stevens Point Police Department says that officers were called to the 2800 block of Welsby Avenue in Stevens Point at 11:12 am Saturday because a 14-year-old boy was not breathing and did not have a pulse. But Bean says when paramedics arrived at the victims Aunt's house, the boy was already dead. Paramedics believe that he may have been dead for several hours at that point.

Bean says that there was a group of kids gathered together on Friday night ranging from ages 13-17. The group of friends got involved in some activities that may have led up to the death of the victim. He continued to say that the death might have resulted from the abuse of prescription medications; however, that can not be confirmed until after autopsy and toxicology reports are finished.

Police have questioned several withnesses and has only taken one into custody. The 14-year-old Stevens Point suspect could face a charge of first-degree reckless homicide in connection with the death, but police aren't saying how he might be involved. Currently he is being held in the Portage County Juvenile Detention Facility. He could make a court appearance as soon as Monday and at that time the judge will make the decision of whether to keep him in custody or to release him.

Right now, it does not look as if any of the other suspects will be facing charges.

Police say both the victim and the suspect in this case attended Ben Franklin Junior High in Stevens Point. The school has been contacted and is working on how to deal with the students' issues after the death of their classmate.
