Law enforcement on the Flathead Reservation of Montana suspect the death of a 15-year-old boy is linked to alcohol.
The county and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are investigating but the county sheriff says alcohol was "definitely" involved. Joseph DuMontier Jr. died on Saturday evening.
DuMontier's death is the fourth alcohol-related death on the reservation. Two 11-year-old boys who were tribal members recently died of alcohol and exposure.
