Itzik – did you do any research? 4great is correct; you have responded without knowledge. Try not to do that so we don’t have to have threads like the coke one and others.

There was indeed an article that said there was a wake for Marshalik at the chapel (funeral home). Now whether or not it was a real wake or if it was more like a shmirah, is impossible to tell from reading the article. My guess would also be that there was no wake, but you can’t say that someone didn’t read that there was.

I would post the link if I thought YW would allow it. (Not that it is necessary-do a search if you are interested.)

4great – it was the other officer, who was either Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox judging by his surname, who had a wake!

Mi keamcha Yisroel! The victim probably had little or no connection with the haimishe community (not his fault as he was brought up in a remote and miserable corner of the former Soviet Union and then came as a child to the cultural mishmosh that is Brighton Beach), yet Rabbi Gluck et al heard that a Jew was killed and they went right to work as if it was chas vesholom a family member.

Let this show the leitzanei hador, the “orthoskeptic” bloggers and their ilk, who we really are, not that they won’t be the first ones to run to haimishe chessed organizations when they need help.

Why would an autopsy have been performed, it was a straightforth gun shot that caused the death?

You can question the official policy, but autopsies are routine in cases of homicide.

Why would an autopsy have been performed, it was a straightforth gun shot that caused the death? There was a respectful crowd gathered at Nostrand and K.H. this morning to pay honor to the policeman.
