A former Riverside County sheriff’s deputy arrested earlier this month and accused of attempting to have sex with a minor killed himself last week, according to authorities.
Anthony Russo, 52, was found dead inside his Arrowbear Lake home Friday, the San Bernardino County Coroner’s office confirmed.
The coroner’s office did not immediately respond to questions about who found him or the nature of the suicide.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said it had no details to provide since the case was outside its jurisdiction.
The department did “extend our condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragic loss.”
