HENRY COUNTY, AL (WDNews) – Michael Shane Halstead, 44, passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2024, at his home in Jack, Alabama reports show.
Halstead was embroiled in a legal battle, accused of hiding his deceased son’s body in a freezer. He and his wife, Karen Tysinger Halstead, faced charges of corpse abuse and manslaughter after authorities discovered their 19-year-old son Logan’s body in a freezer in October 2023.
The Halsteads had reportedly moved to Jack, Alabama in September 2023, leaving Logan, who suffered from prolonged health issues and Spina Bifida, behind in Headland, AL. The discovery was made by the new residents of the Halstead’s previous home, who found Logan’s body in the freezer.
In Michael Halstead’s death sources say, Dothan Attorney Arthur Medley has filed a motion to dismiss the charges against him.
