Lt. Jeff Jacobs is overseeing the investigation being conducted by
ISP Zone 4. An autopsy conducted Wednesday morning by Sangamon
County Coroner Susan Boone's office indicates the cause of death to
be "a contact gunshot wound to the chest, apparently
self-inflicted."
While the cause of death has been determined by the autopsy, the
manner of death, which is still unknown, will be determined at a
coroner's inquest that is yet to be scheduled.
Additional investigative work continues, which includes, but is
not limited to, additional interviews, ballistics examination,
computer evidence recovery, and fingerprint and telephone analyses.
Upon completion, the investigative case file will be provided to the
coroner for use in the inquest process.
Until the coroner's inquest has determined the manner of death
and the case is closed, no additional information regarding the
investigation will be made available.
The Davlin family remains in our thoughts and prayers during this
difficult time.
