Patrolman LeGrande succumbed to injuries received two years earlier when he was involved in an motorcycle accident while on duty.

He was on patrol when he collided with a car at Wenzel and Market Streets.

He was transported to a local hospital where one of his legs was amputated.

Patrolman LeGrande appeared to be recovering but suddenly turned for the worse and died as a result of his injuries.

At the time of the accident Patrolman LeGrande had been with the agency for only three months.
