On Thursday, Aug. 1, the department said Conforti, who had been assigned to Troop L in Hamburg, died while off-duty.
Conforti enlisted in the PSP in April 2016. Records show he was 30 years old and lived in Tamaqua.
Condolences from loved ones shared to Facebook say he leaves behind his wife, Alexandra, and at least one child.
The Feisty Fox Grille in Lehighton said they are collecting donations for Conforti's loved ones. A donation jar is open at the restaurant and 30 percent of their proceeds from Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11 will go to the family.
