How they died
Suicide
About 10:30 p.m., deputies tried to stop a car for reckless driving, and the driver fled with deputies pursuing. The chase reportedly was called off. The car which had been pursued crashed into the back of a taxi in the city of Anderson and the driver and his passenger ran away. Deputies brought a dog to track them, and deputies were coming up a hill when they thought they were fired upon. They shot and killed their own dog, and a coroner ruled that while deputies did shoot Bryan Hamilton, the fatal gunshot came from his own gun. Hamilton's 16-year-old female passenger suffered many gunshot wounds from deputies but survived.
