Conflicting Findings in Death of 9/11 Detective

ew York City’s chief medical examiner has concluded that the death of a city police detective, James Zadroga — who worked hundreds of hours on the smoldering debris pile at ground zero after the Sept. 11 attacks — was not caused by exposure to toxic dust there. The finding contradicts an earlier autopsy by a New Jersey pathologist, who had found the death “directly related” to ground zero dust, and revived the emotional debate over the care and treatment of 9/11 first responders. The family of the highly decorated detective — who died in January 2006 at age 34, did not smoke and had no history of asthma — believes he died from sarcoidosis, a lung-scarring disease.
