A death at the Rod 'N' Reel Resort in Chesapeake Beach has prompted an active investigation by the Calvert County Sheriff's Office, officials confirmed Wednesday. Investigators have not released the person's identity or described the circumstances of the death while they continue to collect evidence and information.
Detectives are awaiting autopsy results and additional findings from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, according to Daily Voice. Once those results are in, officials say investigators will meet with the Calvert County State's Attorney's Office and complete reports in line with whatever the investigation ultimately shows.
BayNet reports that the sheriff's office is declining to comment further while the case is open, noting that "it is the general practice of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office not to comment further on active or ongoing investigations." That practice, the agency said, is meant to protect both the integrity of the investigation and the people involved.
What Investigators Are Waiting For
Officials say the autopsy from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will guide what happens next, including whether any criminal charges are considered. Southern Maryland News Net reports that investigators are holding back additional evidence and statements until the forensic review is complete.
