Police Officer Lee Cyr was fired from the Fairborn Police Department following an investigation into a comment he made on Facebook under a posted article about MarShawn McCarrel II’s suicide last month on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse.
“Love a happy ending,” Cyr quipped under the article, which was published two days after McCarrel’s death. Once the comment came to light, Cyr was placed on paid leave.
