Incident

As the EMS personnel evaluated his condition he collapsed. Paramedics immediately performed life saving measures and transported him to the nearest hospital, where was pronounced dead.
Deputy McCutcheon had served with the Clark County Sheriff's Office for one year and had previously served with the Memphis, Missouri, Police Department.
