Rather than face charges in a fatal DUI crash, the Pa. man accused in the case has died by suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning at his home in Saylorsburg, Monroe County, Pa., earlier this month.

WFMZ-TV reports Robert Givey Jr., 41, killed himself in the face of charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence stemming from a deadly, three-car crash in which Givey was accused of DUI in March, 2015.

In that case, Givey slid through a stop sign and into the path of a PennDOT plow truck, which swerved and hit an oncoming vehicle with the plow, killing the driver, Richard Kline III, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Givey tested positive for morphine in the crash, and his driving record showed a history of traffic violations for speeding, careless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol/controlled substances, WFMZ writes.

Givey was found dead on Sept. 17, with the official results of his suicide announced Tuesday by the Monroe County Coroner's Office.
