A woman who was killed during a storm on Wednesday night in Armonk, New York when a tree fell on her car has been identified as the wife of a New York Yankees executive.
Catherine Tusiani, 50, was fatally injured when heavy winds felled a tree and it toppled onto her vehicle, the North Castle Police Department said, according to WABC.
She was the only person in the car at the time of the incident. In a statement on Thursday, the Yankees said that “words cannot capture the devastating impact” of Tusiani’s loss.
“Cathy was beloved by our front office staffers, who were privileged to experience and bear witness to her kindness, intelligence, sense of humor, and great love for her husband, Michael, over the two-plus decades of dedicated service he has provided the Yankees organization and the Steinbrenner family,” the team said. “As we share in the pain and grief with Michael, daughters Alexa and Julia, and the entire Tusiani family, the Yankees stand with them to offer our complete support and unconditional love as we navigate this unimaginable loss.”
Actor Steve Buscemi was attacked while walking in broad daylight in midtown Manhattan last week, the New York Post reported. According to police, Buscemi was strolling through Kips Bay on Wednesday with a companion when the attacker walked up, punched him in the face, and ran away. He reportedly suffered swelling to his face and eye area and had to be taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Thankfully, though, the actor appears to be doing fine in recovery. “Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” his publicist said in a statement. “He is ok and appreciates everyone’s well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of New York.” Police said they weren’t able to catch the suspect, although surveillance footage shows he appears to be a bearded man who wore a baseball camp, blue T-shirt, and black sweatpants at the time of the crime. It was unclear if the assailant recognized Buscemi.
