Mark Gilbertson, a 50-year-old Asian male, was found deceased at his residence in Gardena, California, on April 25, 2025. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office formally pronounced his death at 8:10 a.m. The official cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was ruled as suicide.
There are no indications of foul play, murder, or ongoing criminal investigations related to his passing.
While Gilbertson had an arrest record from May 8, 2020, for child endangerment in Alameda County, California, there is no evidence linking this past legal issue to his death. Authorities have not reported any suspects, litigations, or law cases connected to his passing.
A separate deadly shooting incident occurred outside a nursing center in Gardena in March 2024, but there is no known connection between that event and Gilbertson’s death. His passing appears to be a tragic case of self-inflicted harm rather than a criminal act.
