Doctors say that the death of NYPD officer, Nicholas Finelli, is related to the time he spent at Ground Zero following the World Trade Center attack on 9/11.

Finelli died Saturday night, after a long battle with esophageal cancer.

After the World Trade Center attack, Finelli spent three months at Ground Zero attempting to recover survivors. His wife, Lucy, says Finelli got cancer from the time he spent there.
