Pinon was transported by American Medical Response ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where he died approximately an hour later, Zick said, adding that his relatives have been notified of the death.
“Although this appears to be an apparent suicide, the Sheriff’s Office is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident,” she said.
The sheriff’s Coroner’s Bureau will conduct further investigation to determine the cause and manner of his death, she added.
