The shocking cause of death for the California-based food influencer Michael Duarte has been revealed more than a month after he was shot and killed by a Texas sheriff’s deputy.

Duarte — known online as FoodWithBearHands — died from a gunshot wound, a spokesperson for the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office told People on Wednesday.

The full autopsy report remains pending, the spokesperson said.

I would prefer “Food with Gloved Hands.”

Now we have “food influencers...”

What the freak is a “food influencer”?

[Inyo-Mono]

Doesn't the headline give away the cause of death?

...cause of death revealed more than a month after he was shot dead by police

[catnipman]

why is it shocking that the cause of death was from being shot to death while he was attacking a police office and yelling out that he was going to kill her?

[DesertRhino]

Suicide by cop. Sounds like he was a troubled soul who had been in the nuthouse a few times for treatment. Guess he lost it again. He knew what would happen in Texas for charging cops with a knife.

died from a gunshot wound

That rules out bear attacks.

I have a poor opinion of ‘influencers’. I believe they are anti-social and amoral confidence artists.

Lead poisoning?

I am sick to death of the term "influencer”.

[GreenLanternCorps]

You have to go an Ivy League Journalism School to learn how to write that headline…

[Seruzawa]

Psych drugs again.

[Macoozie]

“cause of death revealed more than a month after he was shot dead by police”

So, a month ago he was “shot Dead by police”.
And now , a month later, they learn he was “shot dead by police”.

That right there is Leftard investigative journalism for ya.

[OldHarbor]

Exactly what led to Duarte’s alleged violent outburst before the shooting remains unclear.

Well that would depend on what sort of story the family comes up with.

[arthurus]

Meth?

[Organic Panic]

Urinalism at it’s finest.

[PAR35]

Well, what was his cause of death after he was shot by a cop? I’d make a wild guess that it was a gunshot wound that caused the death, but maybe he choked on chewing gum?

[9YearLurker]

Why does it seem like “influencer” is the most deadly job in the country?
