Fired over hoax, former officer found dead in Bay State home

MILLIS, Mass. — A former police officer fired and indicted for fabricating a story about a shootout with a mystery gunman in September and calling in a fake bomb threat to the high school was found dead at his home on Thanksgiving.

Bryan Johnson, 24, was pronounced dead early Thursday, the Norfolk district attorney’s office said in a statement.

 Police said they were called to the home around 3:30 a.m. by another resident of the house who found Johnson unresponsive. They said no signs of foul play were found at the scene, and the death was not being investigated as a homicide.
