Chicago Police Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi also released a statement on the officer’s recent death.
“We are devastated (SIC) tonight about the passing of an off-duty CPD detective who died of an apparent suicide,” Guglielmi said. “Everyday life can be daunting for anyone — especially police officers who selflessly (SIC) dedicate their lives to safeguarding strangers. Deepest condolences to her family & friends.”
