[NYPD] Officer Michael Smith took his own life amid 2 breakups

From news articles: 22-year veteran New York Police Officer Michael Gerard Smith reportedly committed suicide by shooting himself on March 7, 2017 as his NYPD fellow police lieutenant girlfriend and her parents were in the next room of their apartment packing her bags to leave.

At the time he was 47 years old and was separated from his wife.
There's obviously more to this.

There at the scene officers lined up as his flag-covered body was carried out, followed by a procession of police vehicles escorting the ambulance away.

Fellow officers lit candles outside the apartment building that night.
Smith had filed papers to retire.

He left a note.

"I love you more than you will ever know."
Peace goes out to everyone involved or effected by his life or death.
