Incident

Police Officer Disdale Enton suffered a brain aneurysm while chasing a domestic violence suspect on foot and died as a result four days later.

He was transported to Jamaica Hospital where he was declared brain dead. He was removed from life support four days later and his organs were donated for transplant.

Officer Enton, who worked out of the 113th Precinct in Jamaica, Queens, had served with the New York City Police Department for four years.
