Police Close Todd Snider Case, Say Injury Likely From Tour Bus Fall

The finding contradicts his team’s public claim of a violent attack outside a hotel.

Overview

  • Salt Lake City police said their investigation found no evidence of an assault and has been closed following a review of surveillance and witness accounts.
  • Video showed Snider staggering but uninjured as he moved between his hotel and the bus, then remaining on the bus with no one else entering during the window when the injury likely occurred.
  • Investigators reported interviews indicating Snider may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol that night, though specific substances were not confirmed.
  • Police said they were unable to obtain a direct statement from Snider, receiving only third‑party accounts relayed by his team.
  • Snider was later arrested at a Utah hospital for a disturbance and then returned to Tennessee, where he died days afterward from reported pneumonia and sepsis, which police said do not appear related to the Utah injury.
