Chicago deputy chief dies by apparent suicide at facility targeted recently by BLM protesters
July 29, 2020 | Tom Tillison
Being a law enforcement officer has always been fraught with risk, as the next call a cop takes has the potential to be the last call. But the danger doesn’t stop there, as the stress of the job results in a high number of suicides within the profession.
With police under siege in America following the death of George Floyd, a top ranked member of the Chicago Police Department command staff has been found dead.
Deputy Chief Dion Boyd was found Tuesday morning at the Homan Square facility on the West Side, an apparent victim of suicide, according to CBS Chicago.
