Medical examiner deems Lake-area lawyer’s death suicide
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Osage Beach lawyer found dead this summer in a car outside a hospital died by suicide, investigators said Monday.
Brian Byrd's body was found in the back seat of a black Lexus in the Lake Regional Hospital parking lot in July. He had been missing for about a week.
An autopsy performed in Springfield, Missouri, found that Byrd died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, the Camden County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. A toxicology report showed Byrd had no foreign substances in his bloodstream when he died.
