During his shift, Lieutenant Sullivan complained to others of having pain and discomfort but continued to respond to calls. When he returned home after his tour of duty, he suffered a heart attack and was immediately transported to the Orange County Regional Medical Center where he passed away in the early morning of Saturday, August 10, 2019.
