An autopsy in Glens Falls has determined that a Clinton County man found dead in a hotel room this weekend was murdered.
57-year-old Tyrone Biggs, of Rouses Point, New York, was found dead just before 2 a.m. on Saturday in his room at the Anchorage Motel in the village along Lake Champlain. The autopsy at Glens Falls Hospital the next day determined Biggs died from a stab wound to the neck.
New York State Police said they arrested 31-year-old Austin Lapier, also of Rouses Point, on charges of second-degree murder and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon after their investigation determined he allegedly killed Biggs Friday night.
Lapier was arraigned and remanded to Clinton County Jail without bail.
