Tuesday, August 13th, 2013 -- 11:51 AM

-A former Wisconsin Rapids police lieutant arrested recently in a child sex investigation was found dead Monday morning.

Steven Lowe, age 41, was arrested and jailed July 31st on suspicion of child enticement, use of a computer to facilitate a sex crime and sexual exploitation of a child. Lowe was freed from jail when he posted his $20,000 cash bond and he also resigned from the police department that day.

Court records show Lowe posed as a teenage girl and tried to get naked picture of underage boys. Lowe had not been formally charged for the incident as of Monday.

Lowe was found dead in the back of his truck on Monday. The Wood County Coroner says it appears that Lowe killed himself, but an autopsy will determine if that?s the case.

Investigators say Lowe?s death is an ongoing investigation.
