JEFFERSONVILLE — A Jeffersonville pastor arrested earlier this month died Monday, according to church staff.

David James Brown, 46, was arrested in Kentucky after allegedly arranging to meet a minor for sex in Frankfort on June 15, according to newsgathering partner WAVE3 News.

He was later charged with use of electronic communications to procure a minor for sex and booked into the Franklin County Regional Jail on $10,000 cash bond.

Brown was a pastor at First Christian Church in Jeffersonville. The church said in a statement that Brown was put on administrative leave following his arrest, according to WAVE.

Youth Minister Chad Bosecker said Brown died in Georgia where he was with family Monday. 

“We were deeply saddened to learn yesterday about the tragic passing of Dave Brown,” Bosecker said in a news release. “Please pray for his family and our church.”

Bosecker said the church has no other information about Brown’s death.

According to the church's Facebook page, there will be a prayer service at the church sanctuary Thursday night.
