Smyrna, OH : Cadiz Road resident Robert Huston killed in a motorcycle crash on Repik Lane in eastern Guernsey on Wednesday, June 29, 2016

An autopsy has been ordered by the Guernsey County coroner to determine when a Cadiz Road man was killed in a motorcycle accident on Repik Lane after his body was discovered by a passerby Wednesday afternoon.

Robert E. Huston, Jr., 30, was pronounced dead at the scene where he crashed his motorcycle earlier this week.

Authorities believe Huston died sometime Monday afternoon, but they cannot be certain until they receive the results of the autopsy being conducted at the Licking County Coroner's Office. The final autopsy results could take several weeks.

According to the Cambridge post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Huston was northbound on Repik Lane (Township Road 9876) when the 1994 Suzuki he was operating went off the right side of the roadway and struck multiple trees.

Huston, who was not wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle. His body reportedly came to rest over an embankment away from the dead-end road.

A nearby resident out for a ride on a golf cart reportedly discovered the crashed motorcycle lying in a ditch along the roadway. The passerby then looked over the embankment and discovered Huston's body.

A call to the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office at approximately 4:50 p.m. Wednesday reported the discovery.

It was not known as of press time Thursday if either alcohol or drugs were a factor in the accident.

The Antrim Community Volunteer Fire Department and Guernsey County Coroner Dr. Sandra Schubert assisted at the scene along with sheriff's deputies.

The Suzuki motorcycle sustained extensive damage.

The accident remained under investigation by the patrol's Cambridge post.
