James Benjamin Edward Ben King, 19, was pronounced dead about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 11, 2018, after sustaining a firearm-related injury at an acquaintance’s home on Peggy Lane in Corbin, Kentucky. The Whitley County Coroner initially listed the manner of death as pending while investigators worked the scene.

The scene was complicated by the discovery of two active pipe bombs that required an ATF agent to defuse them, and the Kentucky State Police were called in. Early reports conflicted about circumstances: the coroner at one point noted King’s death among three suspected self-inflicted gunshot fatalities in the county within 24 hours but said those incidents were not believed connected. Other accounts described a violent altercation at the residence that escalated, and local authorities identified and questioned several people.

Reports indicate arrests were made and charges filed and that the matter moved into court with hearings and witness testimony. Does anyone have information about King, the residence on Peggy Lane, or the events that night?
