How they died

Suicide

According to police, deputies looking for a suspect in an armed robbery around 1 a.m. at a Walgreens came across Scott James Peabody-Cucuro at a nearby bus stop and tried to talk to him. Peabody reportedly took off running, then jumped into the Clinton River and drowned. A different man was eventually arrested for the armed robbery in July 2012. In October 2012, a police dispatcher was fired after posting on Facebook: "I can't seem to let go of the pain of knowing that nearly a dozen people you work with chase your friend's 25 yo (25-year-old) son into the Clinton River, listen to him beg and scream for help because he was drowning. Mocked him while he tried to stay afloat and then ask me what the name of the 'Bobber' they pulled from the river. Yeah, they let him drown. He's dead." The department denied this and said the dispatcher was fired for other reasons.
