Macedonia -- The body of the son of Marlene Anielski, the mayor of Walton Hills and a candidate for Ohio's 17th Senate District, was found dead at Sugarbush Park in Macedonia March 4, according to the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.
Joseph Anielski, 18, was pronounced dead at 4:10 p.m. March 4, according to a Medical Examiner's Office spokesperson.
The cause and manner of death of Anielski, a senior at St. Ignatius High School, is under investigation, the spokesperson said. An autopsy was performed March 5.
The Macedonia Police Department is also still investigating, a police spokesperson said March 8.
A call placed to the Anielski residence was not returned by press time.
Police said a hiker walking in a wooded area in the park came across Anielski's body around 3:40 p.m.
A statement from St. Ignatius March 5 said high school staff, faculty and students have been informed of the death, and that the school had spoken with the family to express support and condolences.
"We will join as a faith community to pray for him, for his family and friends, and for all who are suffering with this loss," the statement read. "We will do whatever we can to comfort them through this difficult time."
Services were March 8 at St. Michael Church in Independence. Interment was at All Saints Cemetery.
Marlene Anielski is seeking the Republican nomination to fill Josh Mandel's 17th Ohio Senate District seat, as Mandel is vacating his seat to run for state treasurer.
She has served as mayor of Walton Hills for nine years.
The 17th district includes communities in eastern and southeastern Cuyahoga County, from Lyndhurst, Mayfield Heights, Pepper Pike and Hunting Valley in the north, south to Chagrin Falls, Moreland Hills, Solon, Glenwillow and Oakwood and west through Walton Hills to Valley View, Independence, Seven Hills, Brecksville and Broadview Heights.
