"Lee provided information in the first week of October that led to an investigation, ..."

Way to lay out the information there DP.  I think it would be relevant to the story to include what the investigation was about.  So here is our fact patter:  deputy provides information that leads to investigation, deputy resigns, deputy is visited by someone in department to check on welfare, deputy is found dead in burned out home.  Seems to be missing some key information.
