NYPD Chief Kills Himself Just Days Before Retirement

[skye]

Deputy Chief Steven Silks was pronounced dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday evening.

He handed in his retirement papers to the NYPD Tuesday night. He was scheduled to retire at the end of July after 38 years on the job.
Silks was not married and had no children.
Did he know too much? Strange story.
RIP.

RIP, Deputy Chief Steven Silks.

I hope it has nothing to do with "Wiener's Laptop".

One never knows.

OMG!

 

[skye]

OMG!

what ....what do you mean

He reportedly had pleaded with uppper brass for a promotion to two-star chief for the past three years.

Great editors on the site.

It's not that strange. He had no wife or kids. His job was his entire life.

OMG!

Horrible!
Horrifying!
What could drive someone to take their life like that?
It’s not like he couldn’t do some community service.

It's not that strange. He had no wife or kids. His job was his entire life.

But who kills himself or herself before retiring??

How awful. I feel for his family and friends who will now spend the rest of their days wondering if there was something they did or didn’t do.

 

[Moonglow]

Maybe he just could go on without the job? I would have jumped for joy to be able to get out of uniform.

Many folks do in their 50's..Many can't handle the loss of the ability to work.

I don't agree.

That's when they will enjoy life and relax!

If he had been pleading for a promotion for three years maybe they pushed him into retirement.

Maybe it was an assisted suicide.

Of course..to loving CRCs, it's all a conspiracy. Believe it or not....many first responder/military lifers can't handle what comes after retirement.

Many lifers do, just before or after. That's what happens when their career IS their life. When they give too much of a damn about the job.

 

[Slyhunter]

He did his job. When he was no longer necessary he removed himself. I can understand that.

I know what you mean. It was the NYPD that threatened to expose that Hillary video stored on Anthony Weiner's laptop.

Of course we don't really know what happened ...but very odd.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

No wife, no kids, in his fifties.
He was probably homo and was about to be outed. No, that would have earned a promotion.
