Results of inquest in Clayton Police Officer involved death of Pittsburg woman in May announced

August 26, 2017 By Publisher Leave a Comment

Sheriff-Coroner David O. Livingston announces that a Coroner’s inquest jury has reached a finding in the May 13, 2017 death of 24-year-old Marie Cherie Gaglione of Pittsburg. The finding of the jury is that the death is at the hands of another, other than by accident. (See related article).

A Coroner’s inquest, which Sheriff-Coroner Livingston convenes in fatal incidents involving peace officers, is a public hearing, during which a jury rules on the manner of a person’s death. Jury members can choose from the following four options when making their finding: accident, suicide, natural causes, or at the hands of another person, other than by accident.

The Clayton Police Department was dispatched to a local shopping center for a suspicious vehicle call. Gaglione and another person were seen leaving the shopping center in a stolen vehicle. A Clayton police officer pursued the vehicle for approximately a half-mile until it collided into a wall on the 4900 block of Myrtle Drive in Concord. The driver was transported to a local hospital. Gaglione was pronounced deceased at the scene.  

The Coroner’s jury reached a verdict after hearing the testimony of witnesses called by the hearing officer, Matthew Guichard.
