How did Eric Thurmond die?

He was a well-recognized former policeman in Rockford. He gained quite a lot of attention while working within the Rockford police department as a part of the ROCK house program, which started in 2017. He was loved by the local community and was known as a selfless and diligent policeman. He was also known as a dancing cop due to his dancing videos with kids, which got viral.

But his name did not remain on good terms. First, he was accused of raping a 26-year-old woman off-duty in 2019. Then, after one year, being done with several trials, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Many people did support him and said he was a good police officer, who deserved one more chance, but many people did disagree and said his good deeds didn’t escape him from the punishment of his bad deeds.
