Who found Ron Sexton's body?
Sexton's body was found by the housekeeping staff at an Ohio motel. The motel manager said on the 911 call, "Their family member called, I guess he was supposed to attend something and he didn't show up for it, so they wanted us to go check it on him in his room. Housekeeping went in and said that he wasn't alive." The dispatcher provided reassurance to the distressed motel staffer, confirming that help was on its way. The manager continued, "I've never dealt with this before. I'm the general manager so I'm hoping that we're doing everything right."

The operator asked, "I do have to ask though, and I know you're not in there, but did you want to attempt CPR?" The manager responded, "I can, I can attempt CPR. I'm entering the room now. Okay. yeah, he's, he's blue. And he's not wearing any clothes," to which the dispatcher said, "Okay. If you want, you can step outside if you'd like. I'll just put the CPR is being refused."

'They believe this was a natural death'

However, the complete results, including toxicology reports, are still pending. "They believe this was a natural death as opposed to an overdose, but they are waiting for the toxicology to come back to determine if there was anything significant in his system that could have been at potentially lethal levels, versus a cardiac event or something to that effect," a spokesperson added.
