The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet they were called to a private residence at 10 a.m. on Friday morning in Rancho Mirage, California — just south of Palm Springs, very much on the edge of the desert — and about 2.5 hours drive from Teddy’s home in Gardena.
A maintenance worker had found an unconscious man floating in the swimming pool. Teddy was already dead when the police arrived. They saw no signs of foul play, but they’ll have to wait for the autopsy to find out exactly what happened. However for now they’re assuming drowning until further notice.
