Former Jeffco sheriff Cook found dead in his home

Former Jeffco Sheriff Russ Cook was found dead in his home Nov. 21.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office was asked to do a welfare check on Cook, who apparently had not been seen in several days, said Jim Shires, spokesman for the sheriff's office. A deputy found Cook dead on the floor.

There were no apparent signs of foul play, and the Jefferson County coroner's office is investigating, Shires said.
