A high-ranking member of the Chicago Police Department who was promoted earlier this month was found dead after he apparently shot himself in a station on the city's West Side, authorities said.
An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday at the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office on the remains of Deputy Chief Dion Boyd, whose body was found Tuesday morning. If the autopsy confirms that the 57-year-old Boyd fatally shot himself, he would become at least the ninth member of the department to die by suicide in the last two years.
“There is no shame in reaching out for help,” Brown said during a press briefing during which he announced Boyd's death. “Please, officers, please, stay humble, stay human, stay safe and stay well.” During the course of his career, Boyd worked as an undercover officer in narcotics, homicide detective and internal affairs officer before moving into command ranks.
