L.A. Sheriff’s Office & Medical Examiner Rules Hanging Death Of Robert Fuller A Suicide
The L.A. Sheriff’s Office and Medical Examiner have ruled the hanging death of Robert Fuller a suicide. On June 10, Fuller was found hanging in Palmdale, CA, with law enforcement initially presuming he’d hung himself, listing zero foul play.
Following a “thorough” investigation into the death of the 24-year-old, led by the California Department of Justice and the FBI, officials now confirm their initial ruling, citing no signs of a struggle and no signs that he had attempted to remove the rope from his neck.

Additionally, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Commander Chris Marks says that the rope used to hang Fuller was tied directly to branches, “indicating that the victim was not hoisted into that position.” Officials add that Fuller bought the rope at a Dollar Tree store on May 14, a purchase they confirmed via an EBT card registered to his name. Sheriff’s officials also stated that Fuller had a history of mental health struggles and had been hospitalized in recent years for suicidal thoughts and depression.
