Summary: |
Patrolman O'Connell died from injuries he received while attempting to rescue a suicidal man. At approximately 1400 hours on January 3, 1912 Patrolman O'Connell observed a man who had jumped into the river in a suicide attempt. Patrolman OConnell jumped in to save the man, but the man did not want to be saved. The man fiercely fought off Patrolman OConnell, pulling him under the water. When a rescue boat arrived, they were able to pull Patrolman OConnell aboard, but the suicidal man never resurfaced from under the water. Patrolman O'Connell was removed to Flower Hospital where he died on June 17, 1912 from the injuries he received while attempting the rescue. Patrolman O'Connell was assigned to the 29th Precinct.
