Sylvester McCurry, 18, Missing *found deceased*

[Whisper]

Police are concerned that a Minnesota teenager who vanished a week ago may possibly be the victim of foul play. “We’re trying to stay away from the negative, “ said Duluth police department spokesman Brad Wick, “but we will not rule it out.”

Sylvester McCurry, 18, vanished Sunday night, January 17. The high school senior was last seen leaving the Stargate nightclub in Superior, Wisconsin, authorities said.

In a statement, the Duluth police said McCurry went to the club with his brother and ran into friends while there. “McCurry left Stargate without telling anyone he was leaving or where he was going” said the statement.


Two extensive searches for McCurry were conducted last week, Wick told CNN. He added that bloodhounds and a plane were used to look for the missing teen. “It’s very uncharacteristic of him not to have contacted any family or friends for this period of time,” Wick said.

McCurry has not used his cell phone since the disappearance, detectives said.

Sylvester McCurry is described as a light-skinned black male. He is 5’11”, weighs 150 pounds and has short brown hair and brown eyes.

Authorities said he was last seen wearing blue jeans and white Nike shoes.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Duluth Police Department.

Friends and family of missing teenager Sylvester “Sly” McCurry are inviting the Twin Ports community to a prayer service at 7 p.m. today as the search for Duluth East senior continues. The service will be at Duluth Gospel Tabernacle, 1515 W. Superior St.

McCurry has been missing without a trace since Jan. 17 when he walked out of the Stargate Nightclub in Superior about 11 p.m.

Police officials this morning said there were no leads on McCurry. Searches have turned up no sign of his whereabouts. Family members, friends and volunteers met again Sunday to pass out fliers asking for the public’s help.

“We’re following up on any tips and even on people’s feelings on where he might be. But there’s really been nothing at all,’’ said Jennifer Couillard. McCurry had been living with the Couillard family in Duluth.

Found deceased.

August 17, 2010

Late Friday, August 13th, the final autopsy report concerning Sylvester McCurry was received by the Superior Police Department.

The Forensic Pathologist's final summary included the following regarding the exam of Sylvester McCurry:

--"No significant antemortem traumatic injuries were identified."
--"No deep tissue, bony, or internal traumatic injuries were identified."
--"The death could be attributed to probable cold water immersion and drowning."
--"If thorough investigation of the events surrounding death shows no indication of foul play or suicidal ideation, the manner could be listed as accident."
--The only drugs detected in toxicology screening was Hydrozyzine (a prescription antihistamine).

McCurry's blood alcohol content (BAC) was reported as .121 g/dL, which equates to approximately a .08 BAC in commonly recognized measurements (e.g. drunk driving-type numbers).

However, due to the amount of time that McCurry's body was in the water and the fact that ethanol is a natural by-product of decomposition, McCurry's BAC at the time of his death cannot be readily determined.

During the investigation conducted by the Superior and Duluth Police Departments, with the assistance of numerous other agencies, there was no evidence of foul play being involved in the death of McCurry.

The Douglas County Medical Examiner's Office has indicated they will be ruling McCurry's death as accidental due to cold water immersion and drowning.
