Lieutenant Stearn died as a result of a stroke he suffered five weeks earlier while chasing several suspects. He was walking his beat in the Old Conemaugh Boro section of the city when he noticed a group of boys at the Adams Street School. The boys began to run and Lieutenant Stearn chased them over a wall. As he jumped over the wall he suffered the stroke. He remained unconscious until his death five weeks later.
Lieutenant Stearn had served with the Johnstown Police Department for 8 years and was survived by his wife and seven children.
