Detective John Piskator suffered a fatal heart attack while participating in physical fitness training with the agency's Special Response Team.
The unit was jogging on Duck Avenue when Detective Piskator collapsed. Officers immediately began CPR until rescue units arrived and transported him to Lower Keys Medical Center. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
He had been promoted to the rank of detective the previous week.
Detective Piskator was a US Army veteran and had served with the Key West Police Department for just under 2 years. He is survived by his 12-year-old son.
