Despite these efforts, Foreman was declared deceased at the facility. His next of kin have been notified, and his body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. Investigators from the Alaska Bureau of Investigation responded and have initiated a thorough investigation into Foreman’s death.
