One retired employee & 3 current members of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department were found dead by suicide within a 48-hour period starting Monday.
The first death was reported at around 10:30 a.m. on Monday in Valencia, according to a statement from the department. Just over 2 hours later, a little after 12:50 p.m., detectives were called to a second death in Lancaster. At 5:40 p.m., they were again called, this time to a home in Stevenson Ranch.
At around 7;30 a.m. Tuesday morning, homicide detectives were sent to a hospital in Pomona, where a current employee was declared dead.
"Out of respect for their grieving families we will not be disclosing the names of the employees at this time," a statement said. "Homicide detectives and the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner will continue to investigate each incident independently."
Details surrounding the deaths remain unclear. Investigators have not noted if they believe the incidents to be connected.
Sheriff Robert Luna issued a statement on the deaths, which read:
"Our LASD family has experienced a significant amount of loss & tragedies this year. We are stunned to learn of these deaths & it has sent shockwaves of emotions throughout the department as we try & cope with the loss of not just 1, but 4 beloved active & retired members of our department family."
