NYPD Lieutenant Who Ordered Deadly Taser Shooting of Nude Man Commits Suicide
Thursday, October 02, 2008 NEW YORK — A New York Police Department lieutenant apparently committed suicide Thursday, days after he ordered another officer to fire a stun gun at a naked, distraught man who then fell to his death, police said.
Lt. Michael Pigott was found at a former airfield in Brooklyn, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said.
"On behalf of all the members of the New York Police Department, I extend deepest condolence to the family and friends of Lt. Michael W. Pigott, who served with dedication after 21 years," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement after the family of the officer was notified of his death.
