Cd'A police investigating homicide

Coeur d’Alene police are investigating a Coeur d’Alene man’s death, which detectives have determined was a homicide.

Andrew T. Brake, 61, was found deceased around 4 p.m. Monday after police responded to a report of a deceased male at Brake’s home in the 2500 block of West Versaille Drive.

“It was obvious the male had been deceased for several days,” the release said.

The department noted the information was not released earlier “due to notifications of the next of kin and elements of the ongoing investigation.”

There is no indication, police said, that there is any ongoing threat to the community.

Anyone with information that could assist in this investigation is encouraged to contact the Coeur d’Alene Police Department.
