ROSEVILLE, Calif. — A 36-year-old Roseville police officer passed away in his sleep, the department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Officer Cameron Landon was found dead at his home early Tuesday morning, the department said. An official cause of death has not yet been determined.
Landon had been with the Roseville Police Department since 2015. He had previously worked with the Grass Valley Police Department. Before joining the police force, Landon served in the United States Marine Corps.
“It is with great sadness that we report Roseville Police Officer Cameron Landon was discovered to have passed away in his sleep at his home this morning,” the Roseville PD Facebook post read, in part.
The Grass Valley Police Department also posted about Landon, saying, “Cam was a wonderful husband, father, friend, and officer. In his time in Nevada County he started as a correctional officer for the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office and then was hired as a police officer for GVPD.
Cam worked for Roseville PD in recent years but maintained close relationships with many local law enforcement personnel. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, kids, and extended family.”
Roseville Police said they will release more details on Landon’s death as they become available.
