Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

According to the sheriff's department, deputies went to a home on Basford Lake to question an unnamed 48-year-old man about a domestic assault in Grandville. The man's family members had also reported they were concerned for his safety. The deputies said they saw the man through a window trying to hurt himself, so they forced their way inside. The man allegedly threatened the deputies with a knife, then fled into the lake and began treading water. The deputies found a nearby boat to try to get to him, but the man reportedly stabbed himself several times with the knife and died at the scene.
