NEW YORK — A veteran NYPD detective was found dead inside his home in Middle Village, Queens on Monday.

53-year-old Detective Paul Federico was found hanging in the home, located on 79th Street, according to the NY Post.

“His wife was in front screaming,” a neighbor told the Post. ‘Why did my husband do this?’”

Before his apparent suicide, Federico had been placed on restricted duty and had his service weapons confiscated, the report said — although it was unclear why that move was made.

Ten NYPD officers committed suicide in 2019.
