Governor Kathy Hochul today announced flags on State buildings will be flown at half-staff on May 4 and 5 in honor of fallen retired Senior Investigator Nicholas A. Georgeadis.

"The State of New York lost a true hero in Senior Investigator Nicholas A. Georgeadis," Governor Hochul said. "Senior Investigator Georgeadis will always be remembered for his commitment and service to the people of New York, and we will never forget those whose lives were changed and continue to be affected by September 11."

On April 28, 2023, Senior Investigator Georgeadis passed away from an illness stemming from his assignment in and around the World Trade Center site following the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. He had retired from the New York State Police after 21 years of dedicated service on November 28, 2018. Senior Investigator Georgeadis is from Wilton, NY, and is survived by his wife and three children.
