9/11 Bronx Paramedic Remembered & Honored With Plaque

A paramedic who worked at a morgue in the toxic dust of ground zero is being honored two years after she died of lung cancer.

A plaque is expected to be unveiled in memory of New York Fire Department paramedic Deborah Reeve at a ceremony Tuesday at Station 20 in the Morris Park section of the Bronx.

Reeve died on March 16, 2006, of mesothelioma, a lung cancer associated with exposure to asbestos. The 41-year-old developed a cough in late 2003 and retired about a year later, too ill to work.

Her death has not been officially linked to exposure from the 9/11 attacks, though her family and doctors say her cancer was caused by her work at the World Trade Center.
