MANITOWOC – Three men have been charged in connection with the May 9 drug overdose death of 26-year-old Christopher T. Vogel of Manitowoc.

According to Manitowoc County Circuit Court records:

Tyler J. Reed, 29, of Manitowoc, faces one felony charge of first-degree reckless homicide. He has been released on $10,000 bail and has an initial court appearance scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Monday.

David P. Radandt, 29, and Thomas R. Fagan, 33, both of Two Rivers, each face one felony charge of being party to the crime of first-degree reckless homicide. Radandt has been released on $5,000 cash bail and Fagan was released on $6,000 cash bail. Their initial appearances also are set for 2:30 p.m. on Monday.

Vogel was found dead at his Fairmont Lane residence, where police found drug paraphernalia, including fentanyl patches. The Manitowoc County coroner’s report said his cause of death was fentanyl toxicity.

Police alleged earlier that Fagan had a prescription for fentanyl gel patches, which release the narcotic pain medication. He allegedly sold them to Radant, who, in turn, sold them to Reed. Reed then allegedly provided the drug to Vogel.
