Philip Reed, Ex-Councilman, Is Dead at 59
By Sewell Chan AND Jonathan P. Hicks
Updated, 6:47 p.m. | Philip Reed, a former elevator salesman who devoted himself to health issues as a member of the New York City Council, where he was a pioneer as a black, openly gay and H.I.V.-positive lawmaker representing a largely Latino district, died on Thursday at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center. He was 59.
The death was confirmed by Geoff Eaton, who was the councilman’s chief of staff and is now an aide to Representative Charles B. Rangel. The cause was complication of pneumonia resulting from leukemia, Mr. Eaton said. |
