The circumstances surrounding the Monday death of a Grass Valley man during an incident involving Yuba County law enforcement remain under investigation.
An autopsy was conducted Thursday for William Hennefer, 37, but an official cause of death remains undetermined pending toxicology results, said Leslie Carbah, spokeswoman for the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office had responded to an area off Highway 20 near Browns Valley shortly after 1 p.m. Monday for reports of a suspicious man in a vehicle, Carbah said.
The man, later identified as Hennefer, refused to exit his vehicle and was acting erratically when law enforcement made contact with him, Carbah said Thursday.
