Huh? You put out a public notice of a cop dying while off the job, provide no details, then hide behind “they ask for privacy”????
If you are going to honor their privacy, then don’t publish the story in the newspaper!
If you are going to publish the story, then there needs to be something provided as to the cause of death.
Since it’s so hush-hush, it is assumed to be either a drug-overdose or suicide… unless further details are released.
