A 22 year-old man is found floating face down in shallow water in Peebles Island Park, an island preserve between the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, in Albany County. New York State Police, the Cohoes Police Department, Bernard Ng, acting as coroner’s pathologist, and part-time coroner Antonio Sturges, the Albany County DA P. David Soares, as well as numerous others involved in the investigation, have once again proved that Albany County does cover-up best. It’s an accident if no one is watching or following the case — that’s the default determination by New York State forensic investigators, Bernard Ng, Cohoes Police, and the Albany County DA.

Joshua Abood, 22 years old.
Found Dead in Peebles Island on June 10, 2020.
The Problem: Too many victim’s survivors trust or fear the police and don’t bother to question police investigations, pathologists, investigators, or pursue their loved-one’s death, thinking that what the so-called investigation determined, if there ever is an investigation, was correct. Or is their silence the silence of fear?
When you go to the circus you expect clowns; when you’re investigating what is likely a suspicious death, you don’t want to see a clown act. Well, in Albany County, it seems there’s little difference between a circus clown act and forensic investigation.

It’s a clown act!
Police Investigators, Coroner, Pathologist, and Albany County DA.
Can our situation in law enforcement and death investigation get any worse than it is in Albany County? Where there’s smoke there’s likely fire. If the deaths and the incompetence of coroners, pathologists, investigators, and the Office of the District Attorney and P. David Soares, Albany County DA, is as bad as it appears to be, something has to be done and done quickly!
About a year ago, we reported and followed up on the death of Riley Kern, a young man just days short of his 20th birthday. His life was cut short when a local member of the preferential treatment club, Travis D. Hagen, pulled out of the Sycamore Country Club, and Riley, riding his motorcycle, collided with the pickup truck entering Route 143 in the Town of Coeymans. That accident and Riley’s death was hushed, until we got wind of it. There was no report in the media. The police investigation headed by the Coeymans Police was a textbook example of lawlessness and incompetence. If it weren’t for this blog and a very persistent mother, the young man’s death would have been swept under the carpet, and forgotten. The perps, including Travis Hagen and the Coeymans Police Department, and others involved in the cover-up would have gone on with their useless lives as if nothing happened.

Riley Kern, 19 years old.
Coeymans PD botched the investigation.
Thanks to courage and persistence, Riley’s death has brought some very unwanted attention to Hagen, his golf tournament at the Sycamore (Lustgarten Foundation), the Town of Coeymans, the Town of Coeymans PD, the EMT first responders, and the Albany County DA. For them, according to information we received, the cat has hit the fan; the case has been filed in United States District Court and defendants will likely be served with a summons and complaint in the very near future, if not already..
The recent death of 22-year old Joshua Abood, found by a jogger face-down in shallow water in Peebles Island Park, in Cohoes, Albany County, is another recent death that has been brought to our attention by next of kin. Again, we’re looking at indifference and incompetence in public servants. Read Joshua’s obituary here.
Shoddy, NY State Police Investigators, Cohoes Police Department, Albany County Coroner Antonio Sturges, Pathologist Bernard Ng. VERY SHODDY!
Our advice to New York State Police Investigators, Cohoes Police Department, Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares is this: You’d better get your thumbs out of your anuses, and pick up the ball, and get something done in this case to convince all concerned that you are doing your jobs! Antonio Sturges is a DUDD and symptomatic of the dem political machine in Albany! Bernard NG is a LEECH! Both have to GO! Law enforcement should put this case on the front burner before the next segments appear. Bad press!!! Very bad press!! NYSP Public Affairs and Internal Affairs may not view this very positively.
Our investigations and review of the information provided to us, much of which is sensitive and confidential, indicates that New York State Police investigators aren’t very good at what they’re doing n this case. The Cohoes Police Department, like so many local rinky-dink, Keystone cops, are incompetent. The Albany County Office of the Coroner is a hive of incompetent funeral directors with too much time on their hands, and their lackeys — or their brothers, as in the case of Antonio Sturges, part time coroner finishing out his brother’s term (more on Antonio later) — and, again, Bernard Ng, who does fast-food autopsies for the Albany County Coroner’s Office, autopsies that a first year medical student would probably do better.
In this series of follow-up articles, we will be discussing each of these so-called investigators and how incompetent — or dishonest, or both they are. And we’ll be naming names, you can be certain of that.
They may be able to keep the Albany Times Union and other local news media silent but it won’t work with us. Stay with us. The first installment will be published shortly. You need to know about this. Your son or daughter, or even you might be the next one to get swept under the death-investigation carpet.
