The New York State Police and the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office are investigating a homicide in the Sullivan County hamlet of Swan Lake, located in the town of Liberty, according to media reports.
Police found the body of Michael Northcote on Monday, Oct. 12 in a single family home at 177 Cohen and Cohen Road around 9:30 p.m., according to the Times Herald-Record.
