Officer Daniel Auderer was heard laughing after stating Jaahnavi Kandula was dead, saying her young life had 'limited value.'
A Seattle police officer has been fired for making callous remarks about the death of a graduate student from India after she was struck last year by another officer's vehicle in a crosswalk. Seattle interim police Chief Sue Rahr fired Officer Daniel Auderer on Wednesday for the comments he made in the hours after the January 2023 death of Jaahnavi Kandula, CBS affiliate KIRO-TV reported.
He responded to the South Lake Union scene to determine whether Kevin Dave, the officer driving the car that struck Kandula, was impaired.Dave was driving 74 mph in a 25 mph zone on the way to an overdose call and started braking less than a second before hitting Kandula, according to a report by a detective from the department's traffic collision investigation team.
