A cause of death for TV journalist Chauncy Glover, who died in November at the age of 39, has been released.

The Los Angeles-based anchor died of "acute intoxication" stemming from a combination of chloroethane and methamphetamine, according to online records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reviewed by USA TODAY. The manner of death was ruled an accident.

Chloroethane, also known as ethyl chloride, exists as a colorless gas at room temperature and a liquid when stored in pressurized containers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Once used in leaded gasoline, the chemical compound is also known for its uses in the production of dyes, medicinal drugs and certain anesthetics.

Per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, inhalation exposure to chloroethane can cause temporary feelings of drunkenness, while higher levels can lead to a lack of muscle coordination and unconsciousness.

The medical examiner's full report is expected to be released at the end of March, according to a Wednesday press release.

Glover, best known for his work at KCAL/CBS Los Angeles and ABC station KTRK in Houston, died on Nov. 5, 2024. In a statement at the time, Glover's family remembered the Emmy-winning journalist as a "beacon of light" and a "true hero."

Glover joined KCAL in October 2023 after anchoring the Houston station for eight years, according to his CBS Los Angeles biography. The Athens, Alabama, native also anchored in Jacksonville, Florida, and Detroit. It was an incident in the latter city, where he witnessed a teen die from gun violence, that inspired him to start his namesake youth mentoring program, The Chauncy Glover Project.

"Chauncy's compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams," Glover's family wrote. "His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him."

The Houston-based project has gone on to help send 350 young men to college and mentor more than 1,000 boys. "Chauncy's dedication to mentorship and his commitment to uplifting young people will forever be a part of his legacy," the mentorship program said in a statement.

Glover made a similar impact in the world of journalism. Shortly after his death, the anchor's KCAL colleagues Dani Ruberti, Pat Harvey, Juan Fernandez and Suzie Suh mourned his loss on air.

"He just had this way of making people feel so loved and so special, like he walks in the room, and you could just feel his heart," Ruberti said.
