Died of COVID-19
Manayunk community remembers beloved officer who died from COVID
For 14 years, beloved Philadelphia police officer Tab Ali would be patrolling the streets of Manayunk on his department-issued bike. But Ali's family says his life was stolen by the dreaded COVID-19 that has taken so many.
"And not a day didn't go by where he didn't go up and down every street to make sure that things were calm here in our town," said Manayunk Civic Leader John Teague.
Two weeks ago, Ali, who was a Marine, called out of work with flu-like symptoms. His nephew said a few days later, when no one could reach him, they found him dead in his bed at home.
"I later found out that he did test positive for COVID," said Thomas Johnson.
