Flags will fly at half-staff on Friday to honor a Daytona Beach police officer who died following a training exercise.
Thomas Coulter, 25, had been with the Daytona Beach Police Department for only one week.
He “suffered a heart attack while conducting physical training in front of Police Department headquarters” last Friday, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.

“He was participating in a team job with other newly hired police officers when he began to feel ill and collapsed,” he site said. “He was transported to a local hospital where his condition worsened.” He died Monday.
To honor Coulter, Gov. Rick Scott ordered the U.S. and state flags at half-staff at the Volusia County Courthouse Annex in Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach City Hall, the Daytona Beach Police Department, and the Capitol in Tallahassee from sunrise to sunset on Friday.
