RIP SCOTT MITTAN (November 10, 1967 – May 11, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 10:48 p.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published in early September, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back from the lab.

This is a case of acute alcohol poisoning. The decedent had drunk too much in a short amount of time.

Alcohol deaths can be classified as accidents under the assumption that the sots didn’t intend to kill themselves.

The government investigator had initially given the place of death as simply an “outdoor location” before later updating it to a parking lot.
