Who was Glenn Hirsch? 'Duck sauce killer', 51, who killed NYC deliveryman dies by suicide at home
QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY: Glenn Hirsch got himself the nickname "duck sauce killer" after the murder of Zhiwen Yan, father-of-three, 45. Hirsch allegedly shot the restaurant delivery man in the chest while he was fulfilling deliveries for a Chinese restaurant on his scooter in Forest Hills. After he was charged with the murder of Zhiwen Yan, he was out on a $500,000 bail. He was set to appear in court today in relation to the allegations but Hirsch was found dead hours before his Supreme Court hearing, i.e., Friday, August 5, 2022.
Glenn Hirsch, wearing rubber gloves and holding a gun, was found dead on his couch which was covered entirely in plastic and the radio blasting loudly in the background, as per New York Post. As per their sources, Hirsch seemed to have planned his suicide down to the last detail. It's also revealed that beyond just finding the couch covered with plastic and rubber gloves on his hands, the law enforcement officials also found a type-written suicide note, several pages long. The note was found laid by the alleged killer's feet. He had also emailed this note to his lawyers, prosecutors, and other parties involved in the case in which he denied killing Yan writing, "This is my dying declaration."
