Eric Arthur Efaw, 44, was found dead in a hotel, days after his arrest in connection with a hidden camera in a Starbucks.
A man accused of placing a hidden camera in the unisex bathroom of the Starbucks where he worked was found dead in a hotel room in Punta Gorda, Florida, on Sunday, police said.
According to preliminary investigations, foul play is not suspected.
Eric Arthur Efaw, 44, of Riverview, Florida, was arrested Wednesday after police identified him as the owner of a camera discovered in the bathroom of a Starbucks Cafe in Brandon, Florida.
The device was originally found May 31 by a Starbucks manager who removed it from under the sink of the unisex bathroom. Detectives from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reviewed the device and traced it to Efaw by getting images of his license plate after he left the camera on as he walked to his car.
Efaw was charged with misdemeanor voyeurism and released Thursday on $10,000 bond. He admitted to placing the camera in the restroom and said he had done so six to seven times in the past two months, police said.
An investigation is under way into the cause of his death.
