"The SWAT team was sent due to the suspect's threat of violence to police," Los Angeles police Officer Drake Madison told KCBS-TV.

Authorities said negotiators tried to reason with Corbett, but were unsuccessful. He was found dead Wednesday afternoon from a self-inflicted injury that was not a gunshot wound, police said.

In 2014, Corbett was convicted of breaking into Bullock’s West Los Angeles home and was sentenced to five years probation and mental health counseling.
