Cause of death TBD.  

Could not have happened at a worse time and a worse day, especially given the fact that its Election Night. I'm sure they won't have a tribute for him until tomorrow at the earliest. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They've been airing tributes all evening at the top of their newscasts.

I’m curious too. “None of our business?” that can be said about a lot of the “news” in this market.

It’s also pretty commonly released and of course folks are gonna want to know. We may never find out but trying to slam that door shut like this is overkill.

I've been noticing a lot of small errors on KCAL/KCBS the past couple of weeks. Throws to nowhere, incorrect graphics, wrong tape, etc. Unusual for a major station that had been pretty good before that.

The LA County Medical Examiner says Chauncy Glover died of "acute intoxication by the combined effects of chloroethane and methamphetamine. The manner of death is accident.” More from ABC 7.

Sadly, it instantly reminded of Chris Burrous' death, and nearly in the same manner no less.  Just horrible all the way around, and I pray his family can find peace around this tragedy.

Yup, same. When news of his death was announced, I just knew this was going to be the reason. I hope the other KCAL dudes on Grindr are careful.

What's the anchor lineup like in the 8/9/10 pm slot on KCAL? Did Juan Alvarez get Chauncy Glover's schedule?
