OKAWVILLE — A reported trespassing incident turned fatal Sunday in Okawville.

According to Illinois State Police, they responded to a request from Okawville police to assist Sunday with a suicidal male subject who was trespassing and then barricaded himself inside the bedroom of a family member’s residence.

For several hours, ISP Crisis Negotiators unsuccessfully attempted to resolve the situation peacefully by speaking with the male subject.

Troopers were ultimately able to enter the bedroom and discovered 38-year-old Robert Jarden, of Okawville, was deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. ISP DCI Zone 7 was requested to conduct the investigation into Jarden’s death.

The investigation is currently open and ongoing and no further information will be released at this time.
