Kevin Michael Cosgrove (January 6, 1955 – September 11, 2001) was an American insurance senior business executive who served as vice president at Aon Corporation.
A victim of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Cosgrove is notable for the 9-1-1 call he made during his final moments, which abruptly ended with him screaming from inside the South Tower as it collapsed.
Cosgrove's last words made international headlines, and the recording was used during the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui (the only criminal trial to result from the attacks).
[7] According to the 9-1-1 recording played during the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, Cosgrove was located in the northwest corner of the 105th floor in the South Tower, overlooking the World Financial Center when he called 9-1-1 at 9:54 am.
[4] Wendy Cosgrove testified during the punishment phase of Zacarias Moussaoui's trial, in which prosecutors sought the death penalty.
