How they died
Suicide
Raymond D. Cauley reportedly crashed his pickup while fleeing police and then shot himself. At around 11 p.m., Cauley's wife asked police to check on his welfare because he was suicidal. Alton police checked the couple's home for Cauley; Madison County deputies checked an address in Cottage Hills. A short time later, a deputy saw Cauley driving a Ford pickup on IL-140 and tried to pull him over, but Cauley kept driving. As Cauley drove south on Center Street, his truck left the roadway, crashed into a wooded area and rolled over. Police knocked out the truck's window, but Cauley had reportedly shot himself with a shotgun. Cauley died at the scene.
