One person is dead and another injured from unknown causes at a residence in Bellevue this morning.

Wood River Fire and Rescue personnel responded to an emergency call this morning and reportedly found an unconscious male in his late teens. Two hours later, the same paramedic team was called back to the same address, where another young man was reportedly found having a seizure.

Blaine County Coroner Russ Mikel confirmed today that William Glahn, 18, was found unresponsive in a bedroom. He had apparently died during the night, Mikel said.

"There didn't appear to be any trauma involved," Mike said. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.

Wood River Fire and Rescue paramedic Justin Herald responded to both calls.

The first call came at 7:50 a.m.

"We had seen the second young man when we went to the address the first time, but had no reason to think there was anything wrong with him," Herald said.

The second youth was transported to St.Luke's Wood River Medical Center for treatment, Wood River Fire & Rescue reported.

Herald said the Bellevue Fire Department responded to a request to test for carbon-monoxide levels at the Bellevue address. The results are not yet available.
