A Warren County police department is mourning the loss of one of its officers.
According to the county prosecutor, Lopatcong Township police were dispatched to the 400 block of South 6th Street around 9:10 p.m. Tuesday at the request of a neighbor, who was concerned about a possible disturbance at 413 S. 6th.
Despite repeated attempts, officers were unable to make contact with the homeowner, identified as 41-year-old Timothy Balas.
Police asked for assistance from the Warren County Tactical Response Team, which entered the home at 11:21 p.m. and found Balas inside, deceased.
Burke said the death appears to be a suicide.
According to Lopatcong Township Police Chief James Faulborn, Balas was an officer with the department.
The case is under investigation by the Lopatcong Township Police Department, the Warren County prosecutor's office, and the Morris County Examiner's office.
An autopsy is scheduled.
