A body, believed to be that of City of Carlsbad Treasurer Harold “Mac ” McSherry, was discovered last evening (July 14, 2010) by the Carlsbad Police department while performing a welfare check in McSherry’s State Street office.
Carlsbad Police Lt. Jay Eppel, quoted in the North County Times, would not release the name of the deceased other than to say that the person had “apparently committed suicide” and that the body was found after McSherry’s son asked police to check on his father’s welfare Wednesday evening.
Officers first checked McSherry’s house, but he wasn’t there. They then checked his office on State Street, where they found the deceased person, Eppel said. [Eppel] declined to give any further details. The county medical examiner’s office has assumed the investigation, Eppel said, and that office did not release any information Wednesday.
After being self-employed as a tax attorney since 1978, McSherry became Treasurer for the City in June 2006. He was 59 years old.
