How they died

No

Cortez Coburn reportedly drowned in a shallow slough north of Edinburg after fleeing Leake sheriff's deputies in the predawn hours of Jan. 29. His body was found on February 7 in a small pool of water about 2 feet deep, in a wooded area roughly 0.25 miles from where the encounter with deputies had occurred. Coburn's family had reported him missing on January 28; the sheriff's office didn't alert the family, media, or other agencies searching for Coburn about the encounter until after Coburn's body was found.
