Morello graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1987 and worked with an insurance defense law firm that had four offices in central Florida and represented insured people and companies until 1991, according to his firm’s website.

A “cele،tion of life” has not yet been scheduled, according to his website. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that an investigation is ongoing.
