A New York City emergency room doctor who was on the “front lines” of the fi
ght against the coronavirus has died by suicide, police said Monday.

Dr. Lorna Breen, 49, who worked at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, was in
 Virginia when she died on Sunday, said Tyler Hawn, a spokesman for the Charlo
ttesville Police Department.

“The victim was taken to U.V.A. Hospital for treatment, but later succumbed t
o self-inflicted injuries,” Hawn said.

It was her father, Dr. Phillip Breen, who revealed the first details about his
 daughter's tragic death.

“She tried to do her job, and it killed her,” he told The New York Times. “
She was truly in the trenches of the front line.”

He said his daughter seemed very detached of late and that she had described s
ome of the horrors she had witnessed at the hospital while battling the virus.

“Make sure she’s praised as a hero, because she was,” Phillip Breen said.
“She’s a casualty just as much as anybody else who has died.”

The hospital confirmed Lorna Breen’s death in a statement released by chief s
pokesperson Lucky Tran, but gave few other details.

“Words cannot convey the sense of loss we feel today,” the statement said.
“Dr. Breen is a hero who brought the highest ideals of medicine to the challe
nging front lines of the emergency department. Our focus today is to provide s
upport to her family, friends, and colleagues as they cope with this news duri
ng what is already an extraordinarily difficult time."

NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital has 200 beds, is in northern Manhattan and
 is one of the seven hospitals that make up NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
