The Pittsburgh Police department is mourning the loss of an officer who died on Tuesday due to complications from COVID-19.
The department has announced that Sergeant Timothy Warner died at Mercy Hospital with “members of his Pittsburgh Police family by his side.” He was 49.
"It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Sergeant Tim Werner. Tim has been a friend to many and a dedicated public servant for the City of Pittsburgh for many years. It's going to be extremely difficult not seeing Tim at Police Headquarters every day. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He will be truly missed," said Police Chief Scott Schubert.
Werner was going into his 22nd year with the Pittsburgh Police and was a graduating member of the May 15, 2000 recruit class.
