He died in his home.

The State of Michigan needs to stop scapegoating the men at the lower end of the water treatment issue. All these very nice people didn't have a worry in the world as long as they did their job as they did it for decades. It didn't matter that fifty year old documents were eaten by rodents or deteriorated into dust, everyone was just fine UNTIL the idiot and vindictive Governor Snyder took the rights away from the Mayor and Council of Flint. Then people became ill, died and were poisoned.

These low level personnel are not guilty and if Matthew died for any other reason except natural causes, there is still another death to add to the Governor's list of dead.

The people being scapegoated needs to know the State of Michigan doesn't have a case. It is a hardship on them and their families and they need to fight the charges and prepare lawsuits for wrongful prosecution.

The death of a Water Treatment Plant foreman, who was found dead at his home on April 16 by a friend who went to visit him, comes amid charges against three men involved in the city's water crisis. 

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver announced the sudden death of foreman, Matthew McFarland on Thursday.

A friend discovered the 43-year-old's body when he went to visit him at his Otter Lake home last Saturday, according to MLive.

His death comes as Flint's water plant deals with the attorney general's announcement of three men facing criminal charges in connection with the city's water crisis.

The Lapeer County Sheriff's Department told MLive that there were no apparent signs of foul play and an autopsy conducted did not determine a cause of death. 

Police are still waiting for toxicology reports....
