TUPPER LAKE — Tupper Lake village police are investigating the death of a Massachusetts man who also lived in Tupper Lake after responding with the Tupper Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad to a report of an unresponsive male at a Facteau Avenue home Sunday morning.

Tupper Lake Police Department Chief Eric Proulx said they are still investigating the cause of death for Marco Paoletti, 49, of Massachusetts. An autopsy was performed on Wednesday but yielded inconclusive results, pending further toxicology studies.

Proulx said the investigation is still “very active” and being investigated as a criminal matter since narcotics were found at the scene.

Occupants of the house called 911 just before 9 a.m. Sunday to report Paoletti being unresponsive. Proulx said members of the State Police forensic investigation unit mediated the autopsy results for him, so he was not exactly sure where it was performed.

“At this time the incident is under investigation and if any criminal conduct is determined to have occurred criminal charges will be pursued,” Proulx wrote in a text to the Enterprise on Friday.
