Metro Officer Killled: Update

From the Las Vegas Sun:
A Metro Police officer was helping hoist a stranded hiker to a rescue helicopter Monday night on Mount Charleston when the officer became detached from the line and fell to his death, Sheriff Doug Gillespie said.
The officer, David Vanbuskirk, 36, of Henderson, had been with Metro since October 1999 and with the department's Search and Rescue Section since February 2007, officials said.
"Our team is devastated by the loss of Dave, a well-respected member of our team — a leader and a friend," said a message on the Metro Search and Rescue Facebook page, which has a picture of a badge with a black ribbon across it. "Thank you for all of your support and condolences. It is an understatement to say that he will be greatly missed."
The National Transportation Safety Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Metro will investigate.
Speaking at a news briefing today, Gillespie said Metro would shroud its badge and fly flags at half staff to honor Vanbuskirk.
“Normally an officer loses his life or her life in pursuit of a criminal suspect, but this officer was doing what he’s done dozens of times in his career — he was helping to rescue someone,” Gillespie said.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/jul/23/metro-reports-death-officer-line-duty/
Shame on this "victim" for putting themselves in such a dangerous position, in the dark and cold.  It's too bad that this idiot's name was not released to the community so we would know who this moron is.
RIP Officer Vanbuskirk and prayers to the family, friends and fellow police officers and thank you for all you did as a police officer.
