I think the burn boxes must have introduced gas or something..that would fit how they where being used. To bad the guy took the cowards way out.
DENVER – The standoff between a criminal defense attorney and Denver Police at the attorney’s home in the Cherry Creek area ended Friday evening.
Denver Police say they entered the home and found a man dead inside. Police have not identified him.
However, family members at the scene say they have learned the body was that of Michael Andre, the attorney most recently known as the criminal defense attorney for known gang member Willie Clark.
Clark, who is currently in a probation facility in Colorado Springs, has been questioned in the murder case of Denver Broncos’ cornerback Darrent Williams on New Year’s Day.
Police say they released tear gas and other diversionary devices into the home prior to entering.
"This is not the outcome we had hoped for," White said.
Few details were released, but officers said they had received a report at about 9 a.m. that someone in the home may have threatened suicide.
They said a woman had gone into the house, and a man inside had pointed a weapon at her. She left and called police, prompting the standoff.
Traffic in the area is being reopened, and residents are being allowed to reenter their homes.
The home is located between Alameda and Cedar on Monroe Street in Denver. It is not clear yet what prompted this situation.
9NEWS will have more information, including a look at some of Andre’s more high-profile work, on 9NEWS at 9 p.m. on My20, Comcast channel 3.

According to the news, the family is not happy with the way DPD handled this. Who wants to bet they sue, and win?
