A cause of death has been determined in the case of a Minden man whose body was found last month in a heavily wooded area off the westbound lanes of I-20 near the Dubberly exit.

Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said results of an autopsy performed in Little Rock, Arkansas, showed 52-year-old Kendrick “Ked” Kennon died as the result of an overdose of a combination of narcotics including fentanyl.

Kennon was first reported missing Saturday, March 30 after he left for work and did not return. His truck was found abandoned off the shoulder of I-20.

His body was discovered Tuesday, April 1 in heavy woods and thick underbrush nearby after an intensive search of the surrounding area.
