Police probe alleged suicide of colleague

Cops from the Area One Police Division have launched an investigation into the death of Constable Ernesto Tracy, their colleague who allegedly committed suicide on Sunday morning.

It is reported that a gunshot was heard coming from Tracy's apartment in the Westgate Hills community in St James some time after 11 a.m. and an investigation was carried out.

He was found lying in blood inside his home, with a gunshot wound to his head and his firearm lying beside him.

The police were summoned and upon arrival, they rushed their colleague to the Cornwall Regional Hospital where he died whilst been treated.

“Tracy was a very secretive person. Him never did like to talk about himself, and as a matter of fact, we as police knew very little about his personal life,” one traffic cop in Hanover told The STAR.
