Last week, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco made it clear that investigators had found “nothing” suggesting that criminal activity had taken place during the incident. “This seems to be a terrible accident,” Bianco told the post, noting that “a few” of the people involved in the incident, “happens to be very high profiled celebrities,” Bianco told the Denver Post.
“And it makes this more a problem than it probably should be,” Bianco said at the time, noting that his department had received a “massive media study” after the news broke. “We do everything we can to make sure that’s what it seems to be and just an accident,” he added.
