William Morris, the NYPD’s Chief of Transportation, has succumbed to the coronavirus, department Commissioner Dermot Shea announced on Sunday.
Morris was 61.
“It saddens me to inform you that, after nearly 39 yrs of service to the people of NYC, Chief of Transportation William T. Morris passed away on Saturday from #COVID19,” tweeted Shea. “The condolences and prayers of the entire department are with Billy & his loved ones during this difficult time.”
The tweet included a video tribute to the now 45 NYPD personnel, including Morris, now lost to the pandemic, set to the strains of “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes, fading into “Taps.”
Morris, a three-star chief who oversaw traffic and highway patrol, was reportedly placed on life support in April, when the pandemic peaked.
