Ulster County Medical Examiner Fired After Showing Up Drunk At Fatal MVA


Shera.jpgUlster County Executive Michael Hein Monday fired County Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Sheran after he apparently showed up to a fatal accident on Sunday drunk.

State Police charged him with aggravated DWI.

Hein won’t tolerate driving drunk. “As county executive I take the subject of driving while intoxicated extremely seriously,” he said. “This incident is completely unacceptable.”

An Ellenville man, who was walking on Route 209 in the Town of Wawarsing just before 7 p.m. Sunday, was struck and killed by a motorist, State Police said Monday.  

Robert Ryan, 48, was walking on the paved portion of the roadway when struck by a southbound Dodge pickup truck driven by a 28-year-old Wurtsboro resident. No charges were filed against the driver.

Ryan was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Sheran.
