Police responded to a home on Katabel Lane in Berwick Thursday morning for a report of a male with a gunshot wound to the head.

37-year-old Mark Forest was found severely injured. He was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital.

The death was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner on Friday morning.
