Los Angeles TV anchor Chauncy Glover's cause of death revealed
Hear this story A cause of death for TV journalist Chauncy Glover, who died in November at the age of 39, has been released. The Los Angeles-based anchor died of "acute intoxication" stemming from a combination of chloroethane and methamphetamine, according to online records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reviewed by USA TODAY.

Once used in leaded gasoline, the chemical compound is also known for its uses in the production of dyes, medicinal drugs and certain anesthetics. Per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, inhalation exposure to chloroethane can cause temporary feelings of drunkenness, while higher levels can lead to a lack of muscle coordination and unconsciousness. The medical examiner's full report is expected to be released at the end of March, according to a Wednesday press release. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.
