From Long Island-Reverend Canon Paul Wancura, 87, died of wounds suffered as a result of a home invasion at his Silver Beach home three weeks ago.
The Shelter Island Police and Suffolk County Police departments announced his death this afternoon.
The brutal incident, which shocked the peaceful neighborhood and the Island at large, was originally termed by the police departments as a case of home invasion and burglary.
Now, with the Episcopal minister’s death, it has become a homicide case which will be conducted by the Homicide Division of the county department, according to Shelter Island Police Department Chief Jim Read.
Rallying only a week ago from critical condition at Stony Brook University Hospital where he had been since being airlifted from the Island on Monday, March 19, Reverend Wancura, who had a hand amputated, never emerged from the intensive care unit of the hospital, according to Father Charles McCarron, pastor of St. Mary’s Church.
