Funeral Held For Framingham Trooper

FRAMINGHAM (CBS) -- A Massachusetts State Police trooper who died last week after suffering a medical emergency while exercising was laid to rest Monday.

Matthew Daigle, 31, died while on an off-duty run Wednesday afternoon.

"Trooper Daigle was highly-regarded and deeply respected by his brother and sister troopers, as well other members of the first-responder community who knew him," said Col. Rick McKeon in a statement Wednesday.

Troopers gathered in the rain outside St Patrick Church in Natick Monday morning as Trooper Daigle's casket was carried out.

He was a U.S. Air Force veteran, and joined the State Police in 2011.
