She was one of the most renowned doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Dr. Krystal Cascetta, 40, was a specialist in hematology oncology and was the pride of her family and her “community”, as we say on the other side of the Atlantic. His name rhymes today with a horrible news item that questions America.
How this woman, seemingly at the peak of her career and happy, was able to break into her daughter’s room on Saturday morning, shoot her and then turn her gun on herself at her opulent state property from New York ? Mystery for now.
The horrible drama therefore took place in the baby’s room around 7 a.m. on Saturday in the town of Somers, located in Westchester County (New York), according to local channel ABC7. Police confirmed the scene was “consistent with a murder-suicide”. According to the local press, the parents of the young woman were present in the house at the time of the tragedy. “The New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations is investigating a murder-suicide in the town of Somers,” authorities said in a press release. Her husband was absent.
“The Mount Sinai community is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a health care physician and her child. We offer our most sincere condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and patients of Dr. Cascetta”, reacted soberly the hospital of Mount Sinai, from Saturday evening. The baby’s age and gender have yet to be officially released by police, but a due date shared online by the young woman suggests Krystal gave birth in March this year.
Medicine, its “DNA”
Krystal Cascetta received her medical degree from Albany Medical College, where she was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society for demonstrating excellence “in clinical care, leadership, compassion, and dedication to service.” “. The 40-year-old is described as a fervent fan of running and fitness by the local press. Being a doctor “was in her DNA” and, as a child, she regularly wrapped her dolls in gauze, according to her relatives who poured out on social networks after the announcement of her death. When she was in ninth grade, her mother’s best friend died of breast cancer and this event is said to have prompted her to pursue a career in medicine.
The brilliant practitioner was married to Tim Talty, a 37-year-old entrepreneur. The couple tied the knot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, in 2019 in a gorgeous American-style ceremony. Her husband owned a brand of energy bars, in which Krystal had collaborated in particular on the scientific and medical part of the production.
The police who opened an investigation have so far provided no evidence to explain this terrible gesture.
