How they died
Suicide
About 6 a.m., Mobile police began to chase Christopher Palmer in downtown Mobile. Officers attempted to stop Palmer's other about 5:11 a.m. after seeing him reportedly recklessly operating his other. At one point, Palmer stopped, officers approached, and Palmer pulled a gun and pointed it at himself. Palmer drove west at a high rate of speed. Spike strips were deployed on Airport to flatten three tires on Palmer's other, but he continued into Jackson County on MS-614. Palmer ran off the highway and into a wooded area. As officers approached, Palmer hit the accelerator of the disabled other, which caused the underbrush to catch fire. Palmer refused to exit the other, and police said the other was engulfed in flames within minutes.
