Kurian was "chief" of the police department for a day in 2016 thanks to an annual county-wide program for ill children.

"The entire department, we're very saddened by her passing," Ehrenberg said. "Everyone was glad that we got to play a positive part in her life and do something positive for her and her family."

Kurian was predeceased by her sister, Nimi.

She is survived by her parents, Bromley and Beena, and her brother, Nikkhil.
