FBI agent dies from brain cancer linked to 9/11: Hero first responder to the Pentagon who spent 10 weeks processing evidence after the attack passes away aged 48
The FBI says one of its first responders to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks has died of brain cancer linked to exposure to contaminants.
Special Agent Melissa S. Morrow died Thursday at the age of 48. She had served with the FBI for 22 years and was assigned to the Kansas City Field office when she died.
The agency said in a statement on Friday that Morrow made the 'ultimate sacrifice'.
Her death has been classified as a line-of-duty death, due to her exposure to chemicals responding to the Pentagon after 9/11, and a fire at an evidence warehouse in Alexandria
