Brick police issued a statement late Tuesday to correct what the department characterized as \u201cmisinformation\u201d spreading on social media regarding an incident in the Midstreams section of town that drew a sizable police response last week.<\/p>\n

The incident \u2013 details of which were not divulged publicly by police \u2013 occurred the afternoon of Aug. 22 near the intersection of Midstreams Road and Lorraine Place. Neighbors told Shorebeat a man who lived in a home had died there, eliciting a police response and an investigation that included interviews with residents near the home. Rumors quickly began spreading that foul play was involved in some sort of altercation, however police dashed those rumors in a statement issued by Chief David Forrester Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a thorough investigation conducted jointly with our partners at the Ocean County Sheriff\u2019s Office Crime Scene Investigations Division and the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, it has been determined that the incident was a natural medical event,\u201d the statement said. \u201cAny other allegations about this incident are false. At no time were residents in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

An investigation into the matter is apparently still ongoing, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Brick Township Police Department is committed to reporting accurate information once a full investigation is completed,\u201d Forrester said.<\/p>\n
