The Northampton County district attorney plans to release more information about a police pursuit that led to a man's death.
Monday, John Morganelli will meet with the state police and the coroner to discuss the death of Richard Scheuermann.
Authorities say he was involved in a police chase back in October after driving on the wrong side of the road in Palmer Township and failing to stop for the police.
The chase ended in Easton, where police say Scheuermann crashed his truck into a utility pole and rammed a police cruiser twice before officers opened fire.
At this point it is still not clear how he died.
Morganelli has said Scheuermann was shot, but also suffered a self-inflicted knife wound to the neck.
Scheuermann's family is demanding answers into how he died.
Following tomorrow's meeting, Morganelli says he will decide if there is a need for additional investigation or if a determination can be made into whether police were justified in opening fire.
More details on this case could be released as early as Monday.
