Party death probed

Two people have been charged in the overdose death of a 19-year-old from Swanton. The two face charges in the June 8 death of Jeremy Chapple. Authorities say one bought a bottle of bourbon for Chapple, and the other sold him the anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam. Emergency crews responded to a 911 call from a party in Swanton reporting Chapple had passed out and wasn’t breathing. He was declared dead an hour later at the hospital in St. Albans.
