A former FDNY EMT who responded to the 9/11 attacks died after a long battle with cancer. Northwell Health Center for Emergency Medical Services medical director and former FDNY EMT Dr. Michael Guttenberg died Tuesday from pancreatic cancer he developed after working on the post-9/11 wreckage of the World Trade Center. After being diagnosed, Guttenberg served as a responder for more than four years, despite the statistic that more than 74 percent of pancreatic cancer patients die within a year. Guttenberg will be honored in the upcoming year by the FDNY and City of New York, and his name will be added the National September 11 Memorial.
