Fundraiser Launched For Family Of Dead Man Found In Morris Co. Woods

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A memorial fund has been set up for the family of a man found dead in a wooded area a half-mile from a vehicle fire on Saturday in Lincoln Park.

According to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, the body of Anthony Zaccaro, 33, of Sussex, was discovered in a wooded area in Lynn Park, about a half-mile away from his burning car.

The GoFundMe page, started by Jaimelynn Douglas on behalf of Hannah Delea, Zaccaro's fiance, is asking for donations to help with the costs of keeping Zaccaro's family afloat at this time.

"Anthony tragically passed away this weekend, leaving behind a heartbroken fiance, Hannah, and two beautiful children, Brooklynn and Raymond. This unexpected and gut wrenching loss leaves not only emotional wreckage but also a large financial burden, as Hannah is a loving stay-at-home mom," Douglas said.

The goal is to raise $50,000 to help cover funeral costs and other household finances.

Officials said that at 7:16 a.m. on Saturday, emergency personnel were dispatched to a commercial area on Ungerer Road after receiving a call about a burning vehicle.

The fire was put out, but the investigation was still ongoing at 3 p.m. Saturday, when Zaccaro's body was discovered in the park. The cause of death was not officially disclosed.

"Anthony was my best friend, the love of my life, and the best daddy to our babies. He was the hardest worker, he provided the most beautiful life for our family and worked his ass to do so. He put his all into everything he did, and did it better than anyone," Delea said.
