NYSP announce death of retired First Sergeant
ALBANY, N.Y. (WWTI) – The New York State Police have announced the passing of retired First Sergeant.
New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James announces the line-of-duty death of retired First Sergeant Michael Snell, who passed away on Tuesday, May 20 at the age of 56.
First Sergeant Snell's passing is attributed to an illness stemming from his assignment in and around the World Trade Center site following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Superintendent James said First Sergeant Snell honorably served the people of New York State for 23 years. He retired from the New York State Police on May 24, 2023, and was last assigned to Troop B, SP Ray Brook, which encompasses St. Lawrence County.
He is survived by his wife, Tammy Snell, and their four children: Wyatt, Ashton, Harrison, and Lawson.
Arrangements will be announced once they are finalized.
