Nassau Police Say Medical Episode Likely After Teacher’s SUV Plunged Into Long Island Pool

Investigators say foul play is not suspected pending medical findings.

Overview

  • The SUV lost control in the driveway of Allison Rahmani’s Hewlett home, struck a tree and an unoccupied parked car, and became immersed in the inground pool on Friday.
  • Responders removed Rahmani from the vehicle, officers performed first aid, and she was taken to a local hospital where she died en route or was pronounced dead.
  • Law-enforcement sources told reporters that investigators have ruled out foul play and suspect a medical episode precipitated the crash, though an official cause of death has not been released.
  • Rahmani, 40, was a math coordinator at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway and a mother of four who was remembered at a funeral on Sunday where her husband recited the Eshet Chayil.
  • The Nassau County probe remains open and medical examiner testing such as an autopsy and toxicology work is expected to determine the formal cause of death and close outstanding questions.
