Sounds like they kept the news quiet for nearly a month.

On June 12, 2024, Gregory and his service dog were found dead inside a car at a Chase Bank parking lot in Peoria, Arizona. He was 46. The news was kept private until July 11, when the cause was still under investigation. His sister said he had bipolar and sleep disorders, and likely died of heat stroke after falling asleep in his car.
