A doctor missing since the day before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was added to the city’s official death toll, months after an appeals court declared there was no other plausible reason for her disappearance, according to New York press reports.
The city medical examiner’s office said that Dr. Sneha Anne Philip, 31, was the 2,751st victim killed at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
It cited the Jan. 31 court ruling in a brief release, saying the state Supreme Court’s appellate division “determined that Sneha Anne Philip died at the World Trade Center. Therefore, we have added her name to the list of World Trade Center victims.”
Philip’s family went to court to restore her name to the victims’ list. She was cut from the list in 2004 by officials who said they couldn’t definitively link her to the site because she didn’t work there and went missing a day earlier.
Her family believed she likely attended a party held by the city’s South Asian community in a hotel in the trade center complex on Sept. 10, and died while helping wounded people in front of the towers before they collapsed.

For whatever reason Dr. Philip is missing, be it from the horrific events of 9/11 or any other devastating incident, may she be at peace now.
