ALBANY -- A government official says a former state police forensic scientist has been found dead at his home, the second apparent suicide of a retired state police official this month.
The scientist's name wasn't released. The official confirmed the report on condition of anonymity because the death hasn't been announced by authorities.
On Tuesday, the former head of Gov. George Pataki's security detail was buried in Orange County. Retired Inspector Gary Berwick was found dead at his home May 15.
Officials are investigating claims that rogue state police engaged in political dirty tricks for Pataki and former Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
The Albany Times Union reports a note found at the scene of Friday's death referred to an internal probe of evidence handling.
