In a devastating incident, the lifeless body of 38-year-old NYPD officer, Scott Cohn, was discovered in the East River on Tuesday evening, Your Content has learned.
The officer, known for his beautiful rendition of “God Bless America,” took his own life by jumping from the Throgs Neck Bridge in the Bronx on Monday night. Cohn, a dedicated six-year veteran of the force, left behind his keys and cell phone in his parked car on the bridge.
Close friends have disclosed that he was upset with the treatment of police officers, although they maintain that his unhappiness at work could not justify such a tragic end.
This marks the fourth suicide among NYPD officers this year, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support within the police force, according to CNN.
