Pennsylvania teen at center of Holland Tunnel gun incident dies

By David DeKok | HARRISBURG

A Pennsylvania teen has died seven months after she found herself at the center of a purported rescue mission that ended with the arrest of three heavily armed suspects on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel, a coroner said on Saturday.

Coroner Bill Lisman of Pennsylvania's Luzerne County said his office was investigating the death of Jenae Patterson, 18, of Wilkes-Barre.

Her death was first reported Friday by a local newspaper, which quoted her father, James Patterson, as saying she was victim of a drug overdose.

"I know the father is saying that, but we will not state a cause of death until the tests come back," Lisman said. "That will take two to three weeks."
