Chicago Officer's Death Attributed To Inhaling Cleaning Fluid
September 21, 2011

The unexpected death of a Chicago tactical officer in April was a result of his inhalation of cleaning fluid that had been sprayed on his desk by a janitor a month earlier.
The autopsy of Kevin Robinson, 42, shows he died of a lung illness from inhaling the noxious fumes. Robinson, a 15-year veteran of the department, died April 4.

My prayers are with the family. The janitor should be educated on toxic cleaning fluids. He probably didn't have any idea this was harmful.

It would be nice if they would let us know what the heck kind of cleaning fluid it was??? This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy so let’s at least educate the rest of us so we can educate our custodians! This must be some nasty stuff to kill a man a month later.

Chicago needs to have a Chicagoan heading the police department rather than someone from NY!
