    A body was discovered Saturday, July 2, in one of the clothing donation boxes at the back of the Loving Highway Church of Christ in the 1000 block of Loving Highway in Graham. The deceased was identified as David Donald, 33, of Graham.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that David Donald, 33, of Graham, who was recently found dead in a church clothing donation box, died of methamphetamine intoxication according to a press release from Graham Police Chief Tony Widner.

The Graham Police Department was waiting on the toxicology reports, which showed that elevated levels of methamphetamine were detected in Donald’s system. His body was found on July 2, 2016, when Graham PD responded to a suspicious circumstances report that resulted in the finding of the body at the Loving Highway Church of Christ.

Donald was found in the clothing collection box wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a preliminary examination of the body did not reveal any indications of injury, violence or foul play. The investigation will be closed according to Widner, and there was no evidence to discount that Donald had climbed into the box on his own.

More information on the story will be available in the weekend edition of the Graham Leader.
