Sheriff's deputy falls ill, dies while on duty

I am fairly certain it has been classified as such. I know of at least 3 recent firefighters that died in a similar manner AFTER, not during, their shift & it was still classified LODD. Should not be a problem here.

Here is the criteria. I believe he had just returned from the range?

Natural Causes: Any law enforcement officer who dies of natural causes (heart attack, brain aneurysm, etc.) due to physical exertion during a stressful event while on duty.

Example scenarios:

Struggle with a suspect

Foot chase or other pursuit of a suspect

Required departmental training

The law enforcement officer will only be eligible if hospitalization or death occurs within 48 hours of the incident and must be attributed to the incident by a certified medical professional. Written proof may be required via fax or U.S. mail. Natural causes deaths that occur while on-duty but not during or following a physical exertion during a stressful event will not be eligible.
