OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On January 25, 2025, Officer Ryan Kingerski, 26, died by suicide. According to his parents, Kingerski had undergone LASIK eye surgery in August 2024 and subsequently experienced severe complications, including chronic headaches, double vision, floaters, and light sensitivity. These symptoms reportedly prevented him from returning to duty. Despite consulting multiple specialists, his condition did not improve. In a note left behind, Kingerski wrote, "I can't take this anymore. LASIK took everything from me."
