Law enforcement officials found four Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department employees dead on Monday and Tuesday, in what officials described as unrelated suicides, according to multiple reports. The deaths include one retired LASD member and three current members over a 24-hour period, according to KTLA. The first three victims were discovered on Monday, with the first victim being found dead at around 10:30 a.m. in Valencia; a second death was discovered at 12:53 p.m. in Lancaster; and a third death was reported at 5:40 p.m. in Stevenson Ranch. Detectives responded to the fourth victim Tuesday at around 7:30 a.m. in the city of Pomona, KTLA reported.
L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said the deaths rocked law enforcement officers across the state. "We are stunned to learn of these deaths, and it has sent shockwaves of emotions throughout the department as we try and cope with the loss of not just one, but four beloved active and retired members of our department family,"
Then someone wanted them dead , They were Assisted Suicides for sure .

Did you listen to your source?
In 48 hours. One was retired.
But you left that out? Why?
I feel like accuracy is important.

Possibly but another scenario could be they did know each other and were complicit in a crime. Maybe a crime big enough that one of them got a heads up they were being investigated. Maybe they decided they would take matters into their own hands rather than be an imprisoned ex cop.
L.A. county has a population of almost 10 million people, so 4 doesn't seem too unreasonable.....especially considering the high degree of mental health issues California is known for.
The LAPD has historically seen about two suicides per year within its ranks, but there has not been a suicide in the department since July 2017. “My mission really has been zero suicides in [the] LAPD,” Jablonski-Kaye said.
