He died in November 2021 after suffering a 'medical emergency' on patrol, according to local news outlets.

They were then greeted by two lines of officers from several local law enforcement agencies as Anna made her way to the school's front entrance.
The little girl even went to interact with some of the deputies and gave every single one of them a high five for their efforts to get her to class safely.
