A 9/11 first responder, who commanded officers at Ground Zero and sifted through the rubble for 40 consecutive days, has taken his own life after a long and painful battle with lung disease.

Captain Douglas Greenwood, a former NYPD officer, worked with fellow officers to locate bodies and body parts in Ground Zero’s infamous pile where he was the captain for the Manhattan South Task Force, reported the New York Post.
