"Right before we went live with this newscast, we actually had a donor make a private donation, and so we are no longer fundraising," said Athena Gerodemos, Lake County Coroner's Office.
The fundraising started just on Tuesday.
After his treatment, Snoop will be back on the job, helping employees and grieving families.
