A Darien investment executive was killed Oct. 9 in a helicopter crash in Pennsylvania, along with a pilot from New Jersey.
Tighe Sullivan, 51, died in the crash at Coolbaugh Township, Pa. just south of Scranton, according to multiple reports.
Sullivan co-founded WCAS Fraser Sullivan Investment Management L.L.C. and was chief operating officer, with the firm having offices in New York City and Darien. His spouse Callie Sullivan is a former first selectman of Darien.
William Ellsworth, a 52-year-old resident of Califon, N.J. also died in the crash, which reportedly occurred after the Bell 407 helicopter he was flying clipped trees while attempting an emergency landing at Mount Pocono Airport. One other passenger survived.
An expert in high-yield bonds, Sullivan previously worked for Deutsche Bank, and before that First Union, PaineWebber, Dillon & Read & Co., and Drexel Burnham Lambert. He graduated from Colgate University.
