Cassy Ann Walton

How they died

Suicide

Army combat veteran Sergeant Aron Andersson committed suicide with a pistol that he hid from his superiors after his PTSD diagnosis. Loved ones who knew that his wife, Walton, was bipolar, sent officers to her residence. HPD and Army officers consoled Walton. After they left, she bought a handgun and told her husband's brother, John, that she wanted to die. He called authorities. HPD tried to reason with Walton. She fatally shot herself. Walton and Andersson were married for less than 24 hours.
