Trooper's Death A Suicide
September 4, 2008
A state police sergeant whose body was found Tuesday night committed suicide, the state medical examiner's office determined Wednesday.
State police Lt. J. Paul Vance said Wednesday that Sgt. Matthew Richardson, 39, had been reported missing. He declined to provide additional details, including where Richard was found or how long he had been missing. Vance said there is no criminal aspect to Richardson's death.
"It's a very heartbreaking situation," Vance said. "He served the state of Connecticut honorably."
The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, according to the medical examiner.
Richardson joined the state police in 1998 and has served in various posts, most recently at Troop A in Southbury.
