James Davis suffered a heart attack while walking his dog Friday morning, according to an email from the Hickenlooper for Colorado senate campaign. Davis served as executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security when John Hickenlooper was governor.

 

A former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver field office who helped capture Saddam Hussein in Iraq has died.

Davis led the FBI team responsible for questioning, fingerprinting and getting DNA samples from Hussein, the Iraqi dictator, when he was pulled from an underground hiding spot in ad-Dawr, Iraq on Dec. 13, 2003.

Davis arrived in Denver just in time to supervise FBI agents from across the country who came to town to provide extra security for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. While in Denver, Davis directed the local investigation of shuttle driver Najibullah Zazi in 2009, which was part of an international terrorism probe of a plot to bomb New York City subways

 

Davis was a Detroit native. He joined the FBI at 24 after earning an accounting degree at Michigan State University and working as a certified public accountant in Chicago, according to his biography on the FBI’s website. In his first bureau assignment, he worked on a three-year undercover operation called Silver Shovel that ended with several convictions, including those of six Chicago aldermen, in a drugs and bribery scandal.
