From Stephenville Empire-Tribune in Texas
Last week a 37-year-old Stephenville man died after police caught him ‘huffing’ refrigerant at a local apartment complex- his 2nd ‘huffing’ related offense in just 24 hours. Police records reveal that the suspect was picked up for a similar incident at his residence the night before his death.
Police referred the suspect to a nearby mental health and substance abuse facility to undergo psychiatric evaluation following his initial offense. However, it is unclear whether or not he received medical care, as confidentiality clauses prohibit facility employees from publically disclosing such information.
It is not yet known if the suspect intended to kill himself by ‘huffing’ refrigerant, but investigators have learned that “he did have a spat with his girlfriend who was upset over his addiction” prior to his death. The investigation is ongoing.
