Driver in Lodi dies in crash while trying to evade police
A 19-year-old in Lodi died Friday night after crashing during a chase with officers, Lodi Police said. Around 11:15 p.m., an officer spotted someone driving recklessly near South Cherokee Lane and East Vine Street, police said. Police said the officer tried to pull him over, but the driver instead led the officer on a chase. The driver soon crashed as they got onto the southbound Highway 99 onramp at Cherokee Lane and Century Boulevard, according to police. The vehicle then rolled over and came to a rest on its roof. Police said there were two people in the vehicle. A passenger was able to get out of the vehicle, and they were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. However, the 19-year-old driver died at the scene, police said. Because the driver died during a chase with police, an investigation by various agencies is being conducted. "In accordance with the San Joaquin County Officer Incident Protocol, the investigation is being conducted by members of the Lodi Police Department, San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office, DOJ, and the San Joaquin County Medical Examiner's Office," Lodi Police said. The crash is being investigated by the California Highway Patrol.

Death of Food Network star Anne Burrell investigated as possible overdose amid shocking new details
The death of Food Network star Anne Burrell is being investigated as a possible drug overdose by the New York City Police Department, according to an internal document seen by The New York Times. Burrell, host of Worst Cooks in America and who appeared on Chef Wanted, Chopped, and Food Network Star, was found dead at her Brooklyn home on Tuesday morning. The document said Burrell, 55, was 'discovered in the shower unconscious and unresponsive surrounded by approximately (100) assorted pills.' First responder medical personnel who arrived at the property in response to a 911 call pronounced her dead at the scene. The Times was told by a spokesperson for the city medical examiner's office that an autopsy had been completed, but any findings on the cause and manner of death were still pending. Without naming Burrell but confirming details of the incident, including time, location, age, and sex of the deceased, a spokesperson for the NYPD told The Independent that the chief medical examiner will determine the cause of death, and the investigation remains ongoing at this time. Earlier reports suggested a possible cardiac arrest, citing the 911 call made that morning. The New York-born chef most recently appeared in the cooking competition show House of Knives, which premiered in March. However, in January, fans were surprised when she did not return as the host of the new season of Worst Cooks. Neither she nor the network provided an explanation for the change. In a January 10 Instagram post celebrating an event at Madison Square Garden, cheering on the New York Rangers and serving up a steak pizzaiola hero, fans expressed dissatisfaction with her absence from the show in their comments, many saying they missed her. Burrell replied to one question as to why she wasn't hosting: 'Honestly I don't know.' The Times reports that on the night before her death, Burrell had performed improv for the first time at the Second City New York in Brooklyn, where she had been taking classes. Friends and colleagues said she had recently spoken about taking on some new projects. Chef Andrew Zimmern, who had been with her a few months ago for a food festival in Puerto Rico, said, 'She definitely had something cooking.' 'She was excited about whatever it was she was working on,' he added. A week ago, Burrell attended a special event hosted by Chef Elizabeth Falkner at the Soho House in New York City. The two had been fierce competitors on The Next Iron Chef in 2011 and had lost touch, but they recently started texting more, Falkner told the Times. 'It was so fun to see her. She seemed really content, like there was a warmer side coming out,' Falkner recalled. 'She hung out all night. When she was leaving, she goes, 'I am so glad we have reconnected. I want to be a better friend.'' On the news of Burrell's death, The Food Network released a statement, saying: 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring.' Burrell is survived by her husband, Stuart Claxton, her step-son, Javier, her mother, her sister and her brother, according to People.

Jury awards $2.25 million to Georgia couple in suit over autopsy images of decapitated baby
ATLANTA (AP) — A jury has awarded a Georgia couple $2.25 million in their lawsuit accusing a pathologist of posting graphic videos of an autopsy of their decapitated baby. A Fulton County jury returned the verdict against Dr. Jackson Gates on Wednesday. The couple, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., hired Gates to perform an autopsy on their son, Treveon Taylor Jr., who was decapitated during delivery in July 2023. They have separately sued the doctor who delivered the baby and the hospital where the delivery occurred. That case is pending. In a lawsuit filed in September 2023, the couple said Gates posted several videos of the autopsy on Instagram without their permission. Gates initially removed the videos after receiving a letter from the couple's attorneys, but then reposted them, according to the couple's attorneys. Ira Livnat, an attorney for Gates, said Saturday the jury's finding that Gates did not intend to cause harm 'flies in the face' of the plaintiffs' 'entire case.' His client generally made posts about autopsies to educate other pathologists and advocate for independent evaluations when people felt a hospital had engaged in wrongdoing, he said. The couple received a default judgment for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and fraud after Gates did not immediately respond to their lawsuit. 'Dr. Gates testified that he is deeply sorry for any harm that he unintentionally caused the plaintiffs,' Livnat said. 'Had he known for one second that they would see that and that they would know it was their child, he would never have done it.' Attorneys for the couple said in a statement that the doctor 'poured salt into the couple's already deep wounds.' 'This young couple trusted him with the remains of their precious baby,' they said. 'Gates, in turn, repaid this trust by posting horrific images of their child for the world to see.'
