Scott Uzzo's Body Found

We posted on December 28th the disturbing suicide of former Town of Greenburgh employee Scott Uzzo, who, distraught after being laid off from his Town job by Paul Feiner, jumped to his death from the Tappan Zee Bridge. His body had not been recovered until yesterday.

Yesterday, rail inspectors with the MTA saw a body floating against the shore and called the Irvington Police, who called the Irvington Fire Department who called the County's all-volunteer Technical Rescue Team to see if they would affect a recovery of the body from the rail tracks. The County’s Tech Rescue Team recently acquired a set of electric rail cars and trailers to be able to do rescues of people from stranded trains. While the equipment is “in-house”, our information is that they don't go live until this Sunday. We’re also told they would have gone if the MTA would shut down the trains on one track for them. They would not.

Uzzo, a one-time star football player at Westlake High School who graduated in 2005, was a popular student who never displayed any signs of trouble.

The family asked those wishing to honor Uzzo to make a donation in his memory to the Holy Rosary Church Outreach Program, 170 Bradhurst Ave., Hawthorne.

Rest in Peace Scott.
