Murdered by Alexei Tovinski
- Injected Dexachlorine, a paralytic, into his neck immediately before hanging him, staging it as a suicide^[3] Since it only remained in the bloodstream a few hours, it would have escaped notice but for the fact that Eve found the body before Delgato was dead and Morris was able to do an immediate tox screen^[4]

Had worked for Singer for 22 years, moved up to head guy eight years ago.
Married 26 years but separated almost nine months ago.
Had a gambling problem.
His three children: the oldest was in law school, the middle one was in grad school for an MBA, and the youngest was in college.
He liked to do off-track betting at Delancy’s Bar and Grill.
Hadn’t paid the rent in four weeks.^[2]
Was the chief plumber on the Hudson Yards project. Bolton Singer knew about his gambling problems and that he was separated from his wife. Bolton’s wife, Lilith, was friends with Angie, as they co-chaired an annual charity event for the last five years.^[5]
Bolton wasn’t sure if he was skimming, but his daughter, Harmony, who was CFO, was sure he was, but had a disagreement with Bolt about cracking down on the pilfering. Since Harmony was out on parental leave, there were two acting CFOs, and they didn’t keep as close an eye on the numbers as Harmony did. Harmony verified privately to Eve and Roarke that there were shortages on some of the projects he worked as lead plumber. She had a talk with him, and it eased off some after that.^[5]
