Yankees Executive’s Wife Crushed by Falling Tree During Storm: Cops
‘TRAGIC LOSS’
A woman who was killed during a storm on Wednesday night in Armonk, New York when a tree fell on her car has been identified as the wife of a New York Yankees executive. Catherine Tusiani, 50, was fatally injured when heavy winds felled a tree and it toppled onto her vehicle, the North Castle Police Department said, according to WABC. She was the only person in the car at the time of the incident. In a statement on Thursday, the Yankees said that “words cannot capture the devastating impact” of Tusiani’s loss. “Cathy was beloved by our front office staffers, who were privileged to experience and bear witness to her kindness, intelligence, sense of humor, and great love for her husband, Michael, over the two-plus decades of dedicated service he has provided the Yankees organization and the Steinbrenner family,” the team said. “As we share in the pain and grief with Michael, daughters Alexa and Julia, and the entire Tusiani family, the Yankees stand with them to offer our complete support and unconditional love as we navigate this unimaginable loss.”
