How they died
Suicide
George Mathis reportedly killed himself during a standoff with police. A warrant had been issued from Leavenworth County (KS) for Mathis' arrest for aggravated battery. Independence (MO) police received a tip shortly before 9:30 p.m. that Mathis was at a local motel. Police went to the motel, where they said woman came out with a child. According to police, officers then heard a shot and set up a perimeter. Police said something was blocking the door to the motel room, so officers tore a hole in the wall of an adjoining unit. A robot was sent inside and Mathis was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
