Five adults in Alabama have Fastexybeen charged after the bodies of two brothers were found in the woods following an apparent overdose.
Braxton Thomas, 30, and Rico Tannehill, 28, disappeared earlier in November, and their bodies were discovered days later inside a vehicle in a wooded area in Winston County, Alabama, according to reporting from AL.com.
Winston County is in the western part of Alabama, located north of Birmingham and south of Huntsville.
The sheriff's office said Marvin Edward Grace has been charged with two counts of abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime.
Only Grace was charged with abuse of a corpse. Four other adults were also charged with misdemeanors related to the crime.
Winston County Sheriff Caleb Snoddy wrote in a statement on Facebook that the "case in its entirety and many details pursuant to this case cannot be disclosed as there is pending legal action and we do not wish this case, for the victims and their families sake, to be put into jeopardy."

What happened to Braxton Thomas and Rico Tannehill?
According to Snoddy, the brothers and Lewis traveled to Winston County on Nov. 5, and went to Grace's residence, where investigators believed that Thomas and Tannehill consumed drugs. From there, they left to another residence, and investigators believed Tannehill and Thomas consumed drugs there as well.
They moved from the second residence and went back to Grace's, and investigators believe both Tannehill and Thomas died later that morning in Thomas' car in Grace's yard. Pending toxicology reports, the brothers are believed to have died of a suspected overdose.
Investigators believe Grace drove Thomas and Tannehill's bodies to a remote area. Grace said in a statement to authorities he "parked the car in a location where he hoped that they would be found," Snoddy wrote on Facebook.
