I couldn’t find a Facebook page for Johnny. Anyone else? Unfortunately we can’t sleuth the witness (SC) in this case unless he’s named a person of interest.

I just noticed the title of the thread. This death took place in Lynchburg, Virginia, not Tennessee. The witness was however from TN. FWIW. The documents are at this link:

Welcome @MysteryMisfits4Truth , thanks for bringing Johnnys case here. I have read extensively about this case before.

Bungled from the very first moment, sadly his family likely won't see justice, I hope they continue to make as much noise as possible. Incompetence stinks

 

[PrairieWind]

Wow, that is ridiculous. First I have heard of this case. My goodness, how did the ball get dropped so badly here?

 

[ashhouston]

really really sad I'm happy the family is going to media and I'd do the same id be screaming to anyone in the press that would get this out big pressure campaign works wonders

I had just listened to a podcast on this case the other day. I think it was the Generation Why Podcast.

Hi, Elliot, I recently downloaded this podcast to listen to. RIP Johnny, and hope your family get answers to what happened in your apartment.

 

[YaYa_521]

My goodness! I'm left almost speechless by the disturbing circumstances surrounding Johnny's death. I can't even imagine what his loved ones are feeling right now. I hope they find all the help they need to get the answers necessary to explain exactly what caused Johnny's death. I hope some respectable, popular reporters and YTers share this case with their audiences. This is definitely a case that deserves a spotlight. MOO

Rest in peace, Johnny.

---------------------------------

Note regarding WS housekeeping:

Johnny's thread has been moved to the Crimes That Should Be In The News forum considering neither LE nor the ME have classified the case as anything other than a medical-related death. If the ongoing death investigation results in the case becoming reclassified as a crime, then we'll move the thread back to the Crimes in the News forum.

• ...death was ruled as being medical-related...
• ABC13 obtained the Medical Examiner's report, which shows the office turned down the case.
• Lynchburg Police Chief Ryan Zuidema was contacted directly and asked to sit down for an interview about this case, but a Lieutenant responded, saying there would be no comment due to an ongoing investigation.

Negligence x's 10.

What a horrible realization for Cashman's family and friends.

 

[arielilane]

What a nightmare for Johnny's family. So unfair.

 

[sallye818]

Following....this is the first I've heard about this case, local to me. Suggestion to family: contact local talk radio station WLNI--they may feature Johnny's story. They would be a great tool for publicizing it and getting the word out to the community. Praying real answers will come soon, something odd definitely happened to this man!

 

[typical_vacation]

Wait… what?? HUH?

Wait… what?? HUH?

I had the same reaction during my first read of this thread. I'm certainly going to have to re-read these posts a few times to get a better understanding of what happened here.

 

[arielilane]

Hope Johnny's family does not give up and will continue with further investigation into this matter.​

​

Disappointed in how this was handled.​

Commonwealth's Attorney announces no charges in death of John Cashman​

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Back in May, we reported on the case of John Cashman after his family came to us to get answers on his their son's death.

Now we know that the Lynchburg Commonwealth's Attorney will not be pressing charges in Cashman's death.

Bethany Harrison is citing a lack of evidence after reviewing the crime scene, photo, and video evidence.
