Today, we remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed by the events of that day.

We honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, as well as the countless first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, civilians, and search and rescue dogs who worked tirelessly in the aftermath.

The Cambria County Coroner’s Office is honored to have assisted and supported Somerset County during that difficult time.

Coroner Jeffrey Lees had the honor of assisting with morgue operations at the Flight 93 crash site. Today, he is one of the few coroners still serving in office who was present at the Flight 93 site in the aftermath of September 11th.

25 years later, we continue to remember those we lost, those who served, and the sacrifices made that day and in the years that followed.

We will never forget.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Su***de is a serious public health issue that affects individuals, families, friends, and communities. As a Coroner’s Office, we see the devastating impact that su***de can have on the people left behind. While our work often begins after a loss, prevention starts with recognizing when someone may be struggling and making sure they know they are not alone.

If you are struggling, please know that you matter. Your life has value, and it is okay to ask for help. Sometimes reaching out to a friend, family member, or professional can be the first step toward getting the support you need.

This month, we encourage everyone to check in on the people around you, listen without judgment, and don't be afraid to start the conversation.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Today, Chief Deputy Coroner Joseph Hribar represented the Cambria County Coroner’s Office at two “Prom Promise” events held at Central Cambria High School and Forest Hills Junior-Senior High School.

“Prom Promise” programs are powerful and realistic demonstrations involving multiple emergency response agencies, icluding law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, and the Coroner’s Office. These events are designed to educate students about the very real and tragic consequences of impaired and distracted driving.

We are grateful to partner with our fellow first responders and school communities to help raise awareness and encourage safe decision-making among our youth.

As prom season begins, we want to wish all students a safe, memorable, and fun prom night. Please make responsible choices, look out for one another, and always plan ahead.
