At Rest

Suicide
Police received a 911 call around 7 p.m. from a family member of Deputy Christopher Former. The person said Former had called a family member and made suicidal threats over the phone. Deputies went to Former's home in Ruskin and made contact with him briefly. Former then barricaded himself inside his home and shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Christopher Former, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
