    NORTH HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A North Haven firefighter who died following a 30-hour shift will be remembered at the national level next month.

    Anthony DeSimone, 50, collapsed last summer and later died at a hospital. An autopsy was not conducted to determine his cause of death. However, an announcement Friday from the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation states that he died from a heart attack.

    DeSimone was posthumously promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

    He will be one of 89 firefighters who died in 2023 who will be honored on May 4 and 5 at the 43rd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The weekend will also honor 137 firefighters who died in previous years.
