HAZARD — Police in Hazard are investigating the murder of a Perry County man who died after he was stabbed multiple times in his home on Walker Branch Road.
Emergency responders were called to the home at 7:41 p.m. Saturday evening following a report that someone was possibly dead inside the residence. Ambulance workers with the Perry County Ambulance Authority located a man identified as Jerry Combs, who they report had suffered several stab wounds.
Combs was transported to the Hazard ARH medical center, where he later died from his injuries.
