A University of Louisiana at Monroe dean of the pharmacy found dead in April in a Vicksburg motel room died of an intentional prescription drug overdose, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey ruled.

“It was not an accidental overdose,” said Huskey of the death of 45-year-old Greg Leader, who had been in the position since March.

Leader checked into the Riverwalk Casino Hotel on Warrenton Road alone on April 19. A co-worker told Vicksburg police that Leader had not been to work, and Monroe investigators discovered he could have been in Vicksburg, Sgt. Sandra Williams said in April.

He had been an associate dean of the school since 2004.

Authorities got a key and went into Leader’s room after investigation determined he had checked in, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said in April.

Leader was survived by his wife, Barbara Leader, of Monroe, La.
