Police Chief Addresses Report About Ethan Song's Death: UPDATE
GUILFORD, CT — Guilford's Police Chief responded in length to a Hartford Courant report Wednesday that Ethan Song, 15, may have been
accidentally killed with a gun last week while playing a form of Russian roulette. Ethan and another juvenile were inside a Seaside Avenue home alone last week and police are investigating whether they were playing with the gun, which they didn't think was loaded, the Courant exclusively reports.
The home was rented by private investigator Daniel Markle, the son of former New Haven State's Attorney Arnold Markle, the Courant reports. The Courant makes it clear that police don't believe the boys knew that there was a bullet in the gun chamber. Police have released very few details about Ethan's death, except to say he suffered a gunshot wound inside a house.
