| Subject: Well done: Kentucky lawmaker who was accused of molesting a teenage girl likely killed himself, coroner says Thu Dec 14, 2017 4:59 am | |
| Kentucky lawmaker Dan Johnson was found dead Wednesday, an official said, days after allegations surfaced that he had molested a member of his church when she was 17.
Bullitt County Coroner Dave Billings said the Republican state representative — and self-proclaimed “Pope” of his Louisville church — most likely killed himself. His body was found near a bridge on Greenwell Ford Road in Mount Washington, in a spot called the River Bottoms. He had a single gunshot wound to his head. Officials discovered Johnson’s body after they were made aware of a concerning Facebook statement and tracked Johnson’s phone to his location, Billings said. A gun was recovered at the scene, said Lt. Scotty McGaha of the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office. More details will be released Thursday after an autopsy is done. Wednesday afternoon, Johnson, 57, again denied the allegations against him in the now-deleted Facebook post, adding that “I cannot handle it any longer . . . BUT HEAVEN IS MY HOME.”
