How they died

Suicide

Thomas Louis Seminazzi reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a high-speed police chase. At around 5:15 p.m., officers responded to a report that Seminazzi pulled out a gun after a witness attempted to intervene during an argument between Seminazzi and a woman. Seminazzi reportedly forced the woman into her other and drove away as police arrived. Seminazzi refused to stop for police and allegedly swerved at an officer as he headed to I-55. Police said Seminazzi evaded spike strips put down by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, then exited at Portageville and pulled into a vacant lot where he reportedly shot himself in the head as officers approached. The woman was physically uninjured.
