Yes, the chaplain was the first rescuer casualty that day. He was performing last rites for a WTC victim when a jumper landed on him. If I remember correctly, his death certificate is number 1 for this horrible event.

This was the first story released, but then it was verified that the chaplin was killed by falling building debris as he kneeled over another Firefighter giving this firefighter his last rites due to being hit by a person who jumped or fell from the building.
