PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — A new report from Puyallup police disputes a finding by the Pierce County medical examiner that a teenager who died after falling from a bridge killed himself.
The boy’s family sued to have the cause of death on his death certificate changed, saying his death was an accident, not intentional.
Tonight at 6:00 p.m., KIRO 7’s Kevin McCarty looks at the report and what it may mean for the family suing to change the cause of death on their son’s death certificate. Watch on TV or here.
