McCook later died of blood loss the next day. The assailant responsible for killing him was acquitted. The corrupt governor that McCook replaced was later reappointed after his death.
Despite him being a corrupt bastard that’s still kinda funny that he needs to be held back from kicking the ass of the guy who shot him
