WATERTOWN â State and national investigators were at the state fire academy Wednesday as part of their investigations into what caused the death of city firefighter Peyton Lane S. Morse, who suffered a medical emergency while he was involved in a training exercise there in early March.
Investigators from Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau, or PESH, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH, were at the site Wednesday to âofficiallyâ begin their investigations into what happened, city Fire Chief Matthew Timerman said Thursday.
It was six weeks ago when the young firefighter was found unresponsive while wearing a breathing apparatus during a training exercise at the academy in Montour Falls, near Watkins Glen, on March 3. Mr. Morse, 21, died nine days later.

New York State man faces felony charge
Motorist Chad Sykes quickly realized his mistake as he entered the eastbound lanes and began traveling west on Interstate 180 at the Maynard Street interchange in the city about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, court records stated.
As Sykes, a convicted felon, began to turn around, he spotted a state trooper near the ramp and took a handgun he had in his suitcase and hid it in a paper bag “to make it look like trash” police said. He then pulled over to the south berm.
The trooper soon pulled up along side Sykes’ 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, got out and began to question the Montour Falls, New York, driver.
