A sad and bizarre death has hit the family of New York City's elected public advocate, Betsy Gotbaum. Carol Anne Gotbaum, was the daughter-in-law of her husband, retired D.C. 37 chief Victor Gotbaum. She had been in custody at an Arizona airport after a dispute with authorities who refused to let her board a plane. Details are sparse, and the public advocate in an appearance today asked the press for privacy. News report here.
