The measure was originally named for Zadroga after the NYPD detective died in 2006 from the dust and toxins that destroyed his lungs. The names of late Firefighter Ray Pfeifer and late Det. Luis Alvarez have also been added to the bill. Both were advocates before they died of 9/11-linked cancer, and Alvarez galvanized momentum behind the new bill when he testified in June about the illness that left him visibly ravaged and exhausted. The responders gave McConnell Alvarez's badge.
