Joseph Francis Powers, 72, died in Union Hall, Virginia in late May 2015; the date of death is recorded as either May 22 or May 23, 2015.

Powers had a prominent prior legal history. In 2004 he was charged with multiple offenses, including being a convicted felon in possession of firearms and explosives; investigators recovered more than 60 firearms, a large quantity of ammunition, and C-4 plastic explosives at his home, leading to an indictment and legal proceedings. No arrests or suspects have been reported in connection with his 2015 death, which appears unrelated to those earlier matters.

Did anyone in Union Hall or Franklin County know Joseph Powers or notice anything unusual around the dates of his death?
