Philadelphia's deputy sheriff, who was openly gay, died by apparent suicide on Friday as the city's Pride celebrations got underway.

Dante Austin, 27, who had been promoted as the office's LGBTQ community liaison officer in 2017, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was found in his office, CBS Philly reported.

Austin, an Army veteran who was working in the Civil Enforcement Unit, was scheduled to be promoted to sergeant on July 1.

He was widely praised as being 'brave and compassionate', having dedicated his short life to public office.
