The Geauga County coroner says the father of a Chardon High School shooting victim died of a heroin and ethanol overdose. The body of 48-year-old Russell King Senior was found in his home in late February, on the same day as the two-year anniversary of the shootings that claimed the life of his son and two classmates.
