Suffolk Cardiologist Found Dead: Police

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — A Kings Park man who had been missing since March 20 was found dead, Suffolk police announced Tuesday.

Trevor Verga, 45, was found off Piper Lane in Head of the Harbor around 5:40 p.m. Saturday, police said. Verga's cause of death appears to be non-criminal, police said.

Verga last spoke to a family member on the phone on March 20, police said. He was reported missing by a family member that afternoon.
