FOLEY, Ala. The Foley Police Department has arrested a woman in connection with the discovery of a deceased man inside her apartment.
On July 28th, at approximately 10:50 a.m., Foley Police responded to a welfare check at a unit within the Alison Pointe Apartments in Foley.
Upon arrival, officers located the body of a male who appeared to have been deceased for an extended period.
The initial investigation led to the arrest of Valerie Bonner, 54, of Foley.
She has been charged with Abuse of a Corpse, a felony under Alabama state law. This charge stems from her deliberate failure to notify authorities of the death and allowing the body to remain in the residence without reporting it.
She was also charged with Tampering with Physical Evidence, a misdemeanor.
Detectives are continuing to work with the Baldwin District Attorney’s Office as they gather more information in this case.
Investigators are still working to determine the man’s identity.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine the official cause of death.
At this time, however, foul play is not suspected in the cause of death, but the investigation remains ongoing.
The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office is also assisting the Foley Police in their investigation.
