According to the coroner's autopsy report, Kepley, 25, died of an overdose of Fentanyl, an often used heroin substitute. Detective Richard Ames of the Columbia Police Dept. claimed that several months ago narcotics officers noticed a serious rise in the heroin trafficking in the university community and that rise coincided with Kepley's arrival in Columbia. Kepley's death is the third reported death from a narcotics overdose this summer. Ames stated Kepley had been questioned regarding both previous deaths in the Wilkes-Providence district. Ames also noted the number of reports from informants the department recieved concerning illegal weapons for sale had increased during the period of Kepley's residency in Columbia. Found by police in Kepley's apartment while investigating his death was an M60 machinegun reported stolen from a Kansas National Guard armory last winter, several thousand rounds of ammunition, 6 live hand grenades, several home-made "pyro-technic inciendiary devices" in various stages of construction, an AK47 assault rifle, 2 SKS Chinese semi-automatic carbines, and four 9mm pistols. "Kepley was involved in a lot of fringe causes nationally, and even internationally," Ames said. "But no matter how you cut it, he had those weapons for only one reason. He was going to hurt people." Columbia police have contacted Kansas authorities regarding Kepley's death as Kepley reportedly left that state last winter under a cloud of suspicion regarding several weapons thefts there. But, "Except for looking over some of his computer records, this case is pretty much closed here in Columbia." Ames reported. "You hate to see drugs take any young person's life. But sometimes the tragedy is lessened somewhat by who it is. Kepley only had two choices left really, going to jail, or overdosing. We were that close to getting him."
