Suicide on Floyd Estate

The Suffolk County missing persons bureau contacted the unit manager at the William Floyd Estate around 10:30 p.m. on December 12th and advised him that a 45-year-old man who lived on the park?s boundary had been reported missing by family members and that a suicide note had been found in his bedroom. Since the man had a 25-year-long association with the estate, detectives felt that the grounds there were the most logical place to search first. Two rangers guided county canine teams and patrol vehicles through the maze of roads servicing the 613-acre estate. The man?s body was found at 11 p.m. He had a rifle in his lap and had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
