"Just like every other case, it's an extensive investigation that just started in this case," Hinckley said.No police officers were injured during the incident, officials said.An autopsy is scheduled for Monday to determine Lafont's exact cause and manner of death.In the meantime, neighbors are confused and looking for answers."I never had any reason to suspect that there were any problems down there or anything," Claremont man Dale Giles said. "I am really kind of sad to see that this has happened but I think it just goes along with the crazy world we live in today."The attorney general's office is not saying if there was any video recorded during the incident from either a dash or body camera.But the office did note that if there is any that could be released it would be available at a later date."We provide a detailed written report that sets forth all of the information gathered as well as our legal conclusions as to what, if any, criminal matter should be brought," Hinckley said.
