Herman Walker, 91, died two weeks after being assaulted by a roommate at a Westfield facility. Clara Sutkowski, also 91, died three days after being struck by a fellow resident at a South Plainfield facility.
The head of the South Plainfield Police Department faces accusations of sexual misconduct and retaliation against those who opposed him, according to a whistleblower lawsuit. The cop raising the alarm says it put the public at risk.
Labor Day festivities in South Plainfield would be a few weeks late, while the Tour of Somerville was cancelled as the area cleaned up from deadly floods.
Fall events like the Toms River Halloween Parade and the Sea.Hear.Now. Festival in Asbury Park were already canceled because of social distancing guidelines.
