LOCUST VALLEY, N.Y., March 31 (UPI) -- Death has been charged with robbing a cemetery in Nassau County, New York, the Long Island Record-Pilot said Thursday.
The Nassau Country's District Attorney's Criminal Frauds Bureau arrested Donald Death, Jr., 60, of Locust Valley, N.Y., for stealing more than $290,000 from the Locust Valley Cemetery Association.
Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon said that Death, the chairman, chief executive, and assistant treasurer of the cemetery association, had without authorization written checks for a total of $170,000 from the cemetary association's checking account to Harbor Fuel Co., where Death is president, chief executive, board member and 54 percent shareholder.
Death also had an association employee landscape properties owned by Death and his father at the association's expense, for an estimated cost of more than $111,000, Dillon said.
