A 41-year-old paramedic who worked at a morgue for months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center was buried Monday after dying of an asbestos-related cancer.

Deborah Reeve, a 17-year paramedic, died on March 15 of mesothelioma, a lung cancer associated with exposure to asbestos, her family said. Reeve developed a cough in late 2003 and retired at the end of 2004 after becoming too ill to work.

A pending lawsuit alleges more than 20 deaths have been linked to ground zero exposure.

1. This is just the beginning

I had a friend who died at age 56 from asbestos damage. He was a shipbuilder. I can't imagine thousands of New Yorkers won't be affected by the 911 PNAC-predicted assault.
