Hamilton Police have arrested 39-year-old Brent LeFrancois of Hamilton and charged him with Second Degree Murder and Indignity to a Body stemming from an incident that occurred last summer.
On July 6, 2024, police responded to 1452 Upper James Street for a report of a deceased person. The property consisted of an abandoned house with a large field behind it. A number of people were living in and around the vicinity.
Upon arrival, the body of Adam Parrish was located outside under a piece of plywood.
An autopsy was conducted, and preliminary findings raised the possibility the death may be suspicious.
Since Adam’s death, detectives have conducted numerous interviews with witnesses and executed search warrants.
Hamilton Police recently received the full autopsy report, which provided further details and confirmed Adam did not die from natural causes. With this new information, investigators determined criminal charges would be laid.
Hamilton Police continue to extend its deepest condolences to Adam’s family during this incredibly difficult time.
