Follow up to the taser post

Lt. Michael Pigott, the police officer who delivered the order to Tase emotionally disturbed Bed-Stuy resident Iman Morales — a decision that resulted in Morales falling ten feet to his death — has committed suicide on his 46th birthday. In his suicide note, Emergency Service Unit Lt. Michael Pigott said he put a bullet into his head over fears that his three children would see him in handcuffs or behind bars, the sources said. The note, which included pictures of Pigott’s wife and children, was left in the locker room at Emergency Service Unit headquarters in Brooklyn. Apparently, Pigott was repeatedly being taunted by one of his ESU superiors with threats of being jailed.
