2ND SUICIDE SHOCK STATE POLICE LAB MAN FEARED PROBE By BRENDAN SCOTT, Post Correspondent
May 24, 2008 -- ALBANY - A veteran State Police forensic scientist hanged himself yesterday under circumstances shockingly similar to the suicide of another state police official just eight days ago
Garry Veeder, 59, left a note in his Albany suburb home saying he was concerned about becoming a target of an internal probe regarding the handling of a high-profile case, the Albany Times Union reported.
But sources said Veeder, who recently put in his retirement papers, was not implicated in the investigation by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is probing suspected political espionage by a rogue group of State Police officials.
Veeder's death comes eight days after Gary Berwick, a retired State Police inspector, was found by his daughter, hanged in his garage in the Albany area.
Veeder was found by his wife, also in his garage, at about 7:30 a.m. yesterday.
"She came out and screamed," a neighbor in Voorheesville said.
Sources said Veeder apparently overreacted - with tragic results - to a recently concluded report on a kind of forensic-science cheating called "dry-labbing."
The report looked into whether he did research on a State Police case but guessed at the results.

Except better dressed.
Upstate NY? Eeesh, I doubt it! I haven't been to Arkansas but poor old NY is so degraded I wouldn't be surprised if there's a strong resemblance.
By this I mean that Vince Foster was NOT murdered. He was a psychologically tortured semi-decent individual who committed suicide over the guilt at being associated with the evil and crimes committed by the democrat party.
So their Gov was busted for sleeping with prostitutes. His replacement immediately admitted to cheating on his wife. The next state over Gov was having sex with men in truck stops. The crime lab has been falsifying evidence.
All those elitists in the North East sure need to get their act together.
This sounds like the hanging of the DC Madam. All three of these people new Spitzer, and they all were hung in the garages/shed. I would love to know more of the similarites.
Spitzerized..
WTH is going on up there?!?
Spitzer’s corruption is causing suicide now?!?
If he had a conscience he’d know these deaths are on his hands. Then again, some are saying these hangings aren’t suicide but Spitzer goons getting rid of loose ends.
“men with access to guns and drugs, DON’T hang themselves...”
They do with the right encouragement.
BTW men with political enemies and with guns apparently shoot themselves in the head twice on occasion. Perhaps he just had the extra rope laying around.
Hmmm. I’m no detective, but I think I would keep my eye on anybody named, “Garrry”.
This coincidence is odd.
Not just the hanging of the DC Madam but also the hanging of her colleague a few weeks earlier.
Somebody wants to shut these people up for good.
If we get a third guy committing suicide by hanging, people may start talking about NewYorkicides.
Inquiring minds want to know if Clinton was involved, too.
Maybe dead men do tell tales...The MO of these deaths sure connects them....and they're QUIET deaths...No bang...
"HANGING IS THE MESSAGE??".
I'd go back to the files and check around for any other "hanging" suicides with a Spitzer connection.....back maybe 10 years.
Spitzer unavailable for comment.......
Agreed.
