The Vancouver, Wash., Police Department says a man found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound was one of its officers.
Police spokeswoman Kim Kapp identified the man Wednesday as 46-year-old Officer Douglas Deaver. She says he was hired by Vancouver in October 2000 and previously worked 10 years for the Dallas, Texas, police.
Vancouver Police Chief Clifford Cook described Deaver as well-liked and hardworking.
The Clark County sheriff's office says the off-duty officer who shot himself Tuesday night in the woods near Battle Ground was distraught over marital problems.
The Columbian reports the man had been drinking and putting a gun to his head, and deputies had responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at his home.
Sheriff's Sgt. Tony Barnes says deputies were trying to talk with him when he walked into the woods.
