Daniel Gouldrup, 59, a West Tisbury police officer since 1986, has died of natural causes, according to a press release issued by the department. Gouldrup had been most recently assigned to the Martha’s Vineyard Airport.

“It has been an honor and privilege to have served with Officer Gouldrup,” Chief Matthew Mincone wrote. “His passing comes as an unexpected shock to the department as we begin to mourn his loss. It appears his passing was of natural causes while at home.”

No information is available about funeral arrangements, the release states. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time,” Mincone wrote.

  1. The Town of West Tisbury has lost a fantastic man. Danny was a one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He is a loss to the WTPD but more so to us who knew and loved him. RIP
