MAYWOOD, NJ – The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the suspicious death of Maywood Police Sergeant Jason Y. Liaban.
Liaban was found dead at around 2:30 am this morning. Maywood and Hackensack police officers investigating the shooting determined the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.
The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office is now assisting those departments with the investigation.
“The death is not suspected to involve criminal activity, but the circumstances surrounding the death are being investigated,” the BCPO said today. “We ask that the public provide Sergeant Liaban’s family, the Maywood Police Department, and the Bergen County law enforcement community privacy to grieve this sudden loss.”
Since the matter is not a criminal investigation at this time, there will be no further information released by law enforcement.
