posted (March 21, 2016)
Did Oscar Gomez kill himself? That is what police are still investigating and today they told us they are not ruling anything out in this case. As we told you on Thursday 41 year old Oscar Gomez went to visit his friend in Lords Bank LADYVILLE. They hung out as usual but later on in the day, Gomez began to act very strange. And then, without any warning, Gomez allegedly grabbed a knife and stabbed himself in the throat. Police gave us an update on this bizarre case.

ACP Edward Broaster - OC, Eastern Division Rural
"As it pertains to the stabbing death of Mr. Gomez, we are still doing some investigation. As a matter of fact we are awaiting the post mortem. We did a mock scene where we had the witness reenact to us what actually transpired and we are still leaving it open due to the wounds that Mr. Gomez received. We want to satisfy ourselves what is being told to us is actually what occurred. Hence the reason why we are continuing to do more investigation."

Police have recovered the knife. Gomez had a wife and 4 kids in El Salvador.
