An Athens, Alabama native, Glover was buried in his home county on November 9.

In its statement about his death, KCAL News did not give the cause of death. A colleague, his former co-anchor Mayra Moreno, posted on her social media: "My heart is crushed and I simply do not believe it. Hope Chauncy has finally found peace." It's a comment that would suggest his demise was self-inflicted, but again, there has been no official statement on this matter.

Chauncy Glover was a top journalist who, in addition to his work on television, dedicated much of his time to helping others. One of the journalist's goals was to help guide young people, for which he created 'The Chauncy Glover Foundation', a non-profit organization whose purpose is to help families in trouble and improve the education of children.

"Chauncy's compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams," his family said in a statement.
