Later, the name of the soldier was released.
Sorffly Davius was a Major in the National Guard.
He was also a member of the New York Police Department.
The New York Post has more:
Sorffly Davius, a major in the US Army National Guard, suffered the fatal health crisis at Camp Buehring in Kuwait’s northwest desert region while serving with the 42nd Infantry Division, the NYPD announced Saturday night.
“Today, our city mourns the loss of Police Officer Sorffly Davius, who passed away on Friday following a medical episode while deployed in Kuwait with the 42nd Infantry Division of the US Army National Guard,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a joint statement.
“Officer Davius devoted his life to public service — rising to the rank of Major in the US Army National Guard and joining the NYPD in 2014, when he was assigned to the 79th Precinct. His career was defined by service — to his country and to New York City.”
They expressed their condolences to his grieving family, adding that his “memory be a blessing.”
Davius, a devoted husband and father, became one of New York’s Finest in 2014 at Brooklyn’s 79th Precinct in Bed-Stuy. Before heading to the Middle East, he also served with Joint Task Force Empire Shield, a National Guard unit that safeguards New York’s most high-profile targets from threats.
“Major Davius was the ‘Citizen Soldier’ in every sense,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
“A dedicated NYPD officer and decorated Army veteran, he spent his career protecting others. His life is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by our National Guard members, who balance their roles as citizens, first responders, and soldiers.
