Former Bergen County Prosecutor John J. Fahy fatally shoots himself along Route 17 in East Rutherford, authorities say
Former Bergen County Prosecutor John J. Fahy, a prominent attorney who has made frequent television appearances as a legal analyst, apparently shot himself to death with a handgun Wednesday on a sidewalk along Route 17 south in East Rutherford after walking there from his Rutherford home, authorities said.
His body was found under an NJ Transit railroad trestle around 5 p.m. by two boys who were walking in the area, said Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. The death of Fahy, 58, who also served as an assistant U.S. attorney, shocked politicians and law enforcement officials who knew him. (Koloff, Maag & Norman/The Record)
I didn’t know him well, but I met him once and he was kind to me. Rest in peace.
