BOSTON (WHDH) - The Boston Police Department is mourning the loss of an active-duty detective who recently passed away, officials said.
Detective Kerim Hadzi died after a courageous battle against leukemia, the Boston Police Relief Association said in a tweet on Sunday night.
“Please keep Kerim and his family in your prayers,” the association wrote.
Hadzi leaves behind his wife, Tiffany, and his two young sons, Eddie and Mason.
He had been undergoing treatment at Dana Farber in Boston.
A gofundme page that was set up to support Hadzi and his family has raised more than $90,000 since April.
