A 56-year-old Kenosha man is accused of hiding the body of a local man who may have died of a heroin overdose last weekend.

Tye P. Frazee was charged with felony hiding a corpse, obstructing an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. Frazee appeared in Kenosha County intake court Wednesday afternoon and is being held on a $50,000 cash bond.

On Sunday, Kenosha police responded to the alley at 23rd and 24th avenues between 61st and 63rd streets for a report of a man lying on the ground. The man, who was pronounced dead by the medical examiner, was identified and linked to Frazee by witnesses.

According to the criminal complaint, when questioned by investigators Frazee admitted to being with the deceased man before his death. Frazee reportedly admitted to snorting heroin with the deceased man and wanted to take him home because he was stumbling to his vehicle.

However, in the vehicle Frazee reportedly told investigators the 46-year-old man was “going out” and “didn’t wake up.”

According to prosecutors, Frazee drove the man to the area of 22nd Avenue and 63rd Street because it was “out of the way” and he was unable to find a pulse on the man.
