BETHEL PARK — A boy who realized his dream of being a police officer for a day while battling an inoperable brain tumor has died.

Eight-year-old Joey Fabus’ family says he died Wednesday at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

The Bethel Park Police Department made Joey an honorary officer last June, two months after his diagnosis.

Joey went on patrol with another officer and even wrote out a citation.

Bethel Park Chief David Rogan said Joey will be buried Monday in full uniform.
