LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville Metro Police officer has died after a medical emergency on Wednesday.

Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said Officer Mark Kordis suffered the medical emergency while off duty.

“We are asking the community to pray for the family of Officer Kordis as well as the officers and members of the LMPD during this difficult time,” he said.

LMPD confirmed a police escort transported Kordis from Bullitt County to Baptist East.

LMPD hired Kordis in October of 1991, and he had retired once Mitchell said. Kordis was rehired back in March 2017, and his most current assignment was the 5th Division.

The 5th Division covers the Crescent Hill, Clifton, Brownsboro and Highlands areas.
