Before Steve Jobs's death, Apple informed the police in advance

A spokesman for police in Palo Alto city, California, Sandra Brown, said Apple's security team contacted the police earlier this week, inform the police that Steve Jobs may be about to die.

Apple told police at the time that Steve Jobs was "likely to die this week ". "It is normal for us to take actions together," Brown said. Considering his identity and contribution to the world, it is expected that many people will come to join us ."

Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple in August 24 and died on Wednesday at the age of 56. He was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2003, a special type of pancreatic cancer. Steve Jobs underwent a liver transplant on 2009. Apple spokesman Steve downling declined to comment on contact with the police.

In terms of his identity and position, Steve Jobs has a common residence on a public road open to pedestrians and vehicles. Brown said that from a security perspective, it is necessary to strengthen patrols. He said: "There are also many others who have built complex buildings and walls ."

Brown said Apple should have informed the police before publicly announcing the death of Steve Jobs, so that the police can take appropriate measures. However, the police eventually knew the news almost at the same time as the public. Therefore, only 40 police officers patrol jobs near their residences.
