0:00It's April 4th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Hartford News today, your AI-powered local news. Dr. Henry C. Lee, the legendary forensic scientist who cracked high-profile cases coast to coast, passed away at his home outside Las Vegas on March 27th after a short illness. Instead of public memorials, which he didn't want, his family is calling on folks to honor him with donations to the University of New Haven. Back in 1998, Lee founded the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science, and by 2010, the university built a state of the art. 15,000 square-flip facility right in West Haven. That spot's packed with cutting-edge labs, crime scene setups, and training centers to fight crime smarter. His family put out a statement thanking everyone worldwide for the love and support from colleagues, students, and friends. They say his legacy lives in chasing justice through science, and they're feeling the global vibes deep. Donations go straight to the friends of Dr. Henry C. Lee Fund, boosting lab spaces, gear, and classrooms at the Henry Lee College of Criminal Justice, and forensic sciences.
