Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Rod Norgaard said in a statement on Friday, "This case involved the tragic death of a young man just months before his graduation from California State University, Sacramento. Homicide detectives from the Sacramento Police Department conducted a thorough death investigation and asked our office to review this incident. Our office conducted an independent review of the police department's investigation. After our review, we determined that this was a tragic accident and that the facts did not warrant the filing of any criminal charges."
