WASHINGTON, Pa. — A deputy died after suffering a fatal heart attack while on duty Wednesday.
Washington County Sheriff’s Office Cpl. Chad Beattie, 45, was responding to a call that involved a foot pursuit with a suspect who was wanted on outstanding warrants in multiple counties. After returning to his patrol vehicle, Beattie began feeling ill and collapsed, CBS News reported.
