KCAL news anchor Chauncy Glover had drugs in his system at the time of his death, which has been ruled an accident, the Los Angeles County Department
of Medical Examiner confirmed Wednesday.
The 39-year-old journalist died from �acute intoxication due to the
combined effects of chloroethane and methamphetamine,� the agency said in
a statement.
Chloroethane, also known as ethyl chloride, is a colorless, flammable gas
with a pungent, ether-like odor, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. It has various applications, including use as a solvent,
refrigerant and topical anesthetic.
The circumstances under which Glover was exposed to chloroethane remain unclear.
Glover was found unresponsive in his home on Nov. 5 and was pronounced
dead at 12:40 a.m. by fire department personnel, according to the county Medical Examiner�s Office.
The full medical examiner�s report is expected by the end of March, the
agency said.
The Alabama-born journalist joined KCAL9 in October 2023, where he co-
anchored the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts alongside Pat Harvey and the 8
p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts with Suzie Suh.
Before moving to Los Angeles, Glover spent eight years as KTRK�s first
Black male main anchor in Houston. His journalism career also included reporting roles in Georgia, Florida and Michigan.
