Cause of Death for News Anchor Chauncy Glover Ruled Accidental

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed Glover died from acute intoxication involving chloroethane and methamphetamine in November 2024.

Chauncy Glover, a 39-year-old Emmy-winning journalist and KCAL anchor, was found unresponsive in his home on November 5, 2024, and pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office determined the cause of death as acute intoxication due to the combined effects of chloroethane and methamphetamine, ruling it an accident.
Chloroethane, a chemical with medical and industrial applications, can also be misused recreationally, though it remains unclear how Glover came into contact with it.
Glover was celebrated for his journalism career, which included roles in Houston, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Jacksonville, and for founding the Chauncy Glover Project, a mentoring program for inner-city youth.
The full medical examiner’s report is expected to be released by the end of March, and Glover’s family has requested privacy while honoring his legacy of compassion and community impact.
