A good guy died from a heart attack — a good guy who happened to be a cop shot in the line of duty. Robert Fumiatti made a long, painful recovery from life-threatening wounds suffered on a drug raid.

Fumiatti is the second cop in the past three months to have died from injuries suffered in the line of duty; Daniel Picagli was the other.
