White River Man Charged with Manslaughter in Nebraska

VALENTINE, Neb. (AP) — A South Dakota resident has been charged in the death of a northern Nebraska man.

Jail records say 29-year-old Tylor Krogman, of White River, South Dakota, remained in custody Thursday. He's charged with manslaughter, assault and strangulation in the July 11 death of Ed Mathiesen, of rural Valentine.

Krogman's attorney, P. Stephen Potter, says Krogman is presumed innocent until a court says otherwise. Potter would not say Thursday what plea Krogman will be entering to the charges.

Valentine radio station KVSH reports that an autopsy showed Mathiesen died of blunt force trauma and neck injuries. Krogman told investigators that he'd gone to Valentine for a bachelor party, got into an altercation with Mathiesen but couldn't remember the details.

A court hearing for Krogman is scheduled for Monday.
