Trooper Lane died when he fell over a stairway rail and landed on his head at the Bethpage Troop barracks. Trooper Lane was interviewing an area patrolman at the station concerning vandalism to construction equipment on the Wantagh Parkway. The Bethpage Station was located on the second floor of a store front office and when Trooper Lane leaned against the banister, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He died instantly from his injury.
Trooper Lane had been with the agency for six years.

I said a little prayer today for Trooper Lane and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.
