Unified Police officers on Friday were mourning the sudden deaths of two veteran detectives from apparent cardiac events in as many weeks.
UPD Lt. Brian Lohrke said that Detective Brian Roger Holdaway was found unconscious at the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office building early Thursday morning. Holdaway, 50, had been a law enforcement officer for nearly two decades.
Despite efforts of paramedics and other officers to revive him, Holdaway was later pronounced dead at Intermountain Medical Center.
On Jan. 25, another UPD detective, 32-year-old Brooks Hayward Green, also suffered a "medical event," yet to be determined but also thought heart-related, outside his home.
A Saturday funeral is set for Green beginning 11 a.m. at an LDS Chapel located at 325 E. 500 South in Heber City. Interment will be at the Heber City Cemetery.
Funeral arrangements were still pending for Holdaway.
