An off-duty New York City police officer has been found dead in a park, and police suspect he shot himself with his own gun. New York City police aren't releasing the officer's name, but said the 21-year-old man had been with the 115th precinct in Queens for just a few months. His body was found at about 8 a.m. Monday in Poppenhusen Park in the College Point section of Queens. Police suspect the officer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
UPDATE:

Deputy Inspector John Lavelle, commander of the 115th Precinct:
"He was only here a short time, but he was well-respected by his supervisors and his peers," Lavelle said. "We ask you to keep his family in your prayers."
With the articles I found there was only one photo, Thomas with a sheet over him against a fence.
