Charles Joseph Gliniewicz took his own life on Sept. 1 due to mounting personal and professional problems, sources told the Chicago Sun-Times and Fox Chicago Tuesday night.
“There were indications that there was a struggle that took place at the crime scene. I will confirm, at this point, that Lt. Gliniewicz was shot with his own weapon,” a police commander said in a press conference a month after Gliniewicz’s death.
But no suspects, or motive, were ever identified –– and the coroner never ruled out suicide. GPS data also showed Gliniewicz was at the crime scene for 20 minutes before he radioed in the pursuit.
One local resident told the Chicago Tribune many questions remain unanswered. “It’s a really messed-up case, and really sad for the community. I respect him, and I think he’s a hero.”
The Chicago Tribune reports more than $300,000 was spent in the investigation. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is expected to make the official announcement ruling his death a suicide Wednesday.
