From the Madison County Sheriff’s Office –

Last evening, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office experienced the heartbreaking and tragic loss of one of our civilian employees of nine years.

The Sheriff can confirm a police presence at a local hospital on Thursday, December 29th, 2022.

The preliminary investigation indicates a self-inflicted gunshot wound had occurred within a vehicle on the parking lot of the hospital.
