Logan Roy

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office has located the man who went missing earlier this week dead near his home.

Family members reported to police that 21-year-old Logan Roy had a mental health crisis, may have had a gun, and had texted family members that he would provoke law enforcement into a situation where they would be forced to take his life.

On Monday, Chief Deputy Jarrett Walton issued a press release to warn the public to not approach Roy and to call 911 immediately if he was seen.

A sheriff’s department search this morning located Roy’s body about three-quarters of a mile from his home in Maple Ridge Township, northwest of Puposky. An autopsy is scheduled.
