A 15-year-boy died after accidentally shooting himself at a Harrison residence in November, according to a ruling issued Monday by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Machi Douthett was pronounced dead at 8:50 p.m. Nov. 10 at a house on Spruce Street, the medical examiner’s office said. An obituary for Douthett said he lived in Arnold.

Allegheny County Police said Douthett had been playing with a 9mm handgun that had been reported stolen from Jeannette. How he got the gun is still under investigation, police said.

No one else was hurt in the incident.
