The conduct of Asbury Park police at the shootingdeath of Tamara Wilson-Seidle on a city street will like-ly be reviewed by a government panel that includes atleast two former Asbury police officers.

Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J.Gramiccioni said last week that the lack of force by po-lice to stop Neptune police Sgt. Philip Seidle who ischarged with firing on his ex-wife with two volleys ofmultiple shots while she sat in her car will be part ofthe death investigation.

Policing experts have told the Asbury Park Pressthat local law enforcement could have used deadlyforce at several instances to stop the suspect once herefused to drop his .40-caliber Glock service weaponand allow emergency response workers to remove thewounded Wilson-Seidle from her car.

Her daughter Caroline, a violinist at Neptune HighSchool, had just played at a ceremony honoring organdonors at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.The experience and the message of organ donation so deeply moved Caroline that she made a decision,one she soon shared with her mother.

Two years later, in the worst moments of her life,Kate Duerr remembered that conversation. It wasMarch, and her beloved Caroline had just died in a ter-rible car crash. Yet even as she struggled with hergrief, Kate Duerr knew what she had to do.

She donated her 17-year-old daughters organs.There wasnt a question for me, Kate Duerr said.

I knew it was the right thing to do. I knew it was whatshe would have wanted.
