Kenneth Livingston, 40, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, died on December 13, 2018, from a gunshot wound to the head at a small social gathering in a downtown apartment on Corry Street. Witnesses reported seeing Livingston put a gun to his head and pull the trigger. The Yellow Springs Police Department and the Greene County Coroner’s Office investigated, including forensic analysis and witness interviews, and ruled the death accidental and self-inflicted.

The Greene County Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the evidence and supported the conclusion that no foul play was involved. No one present was charged, and the case was officially closed in October 2019. Livingston grew up in Yellow Springs, attended local schools, and was the son of the late police officer Hugh Livingston; the community held a celebration of life in his honor.
