Groom dies, bride injured on their honeymoon three days after their wedding

Jeremiah Grunblattman was honeymooning with his wife, Keturah on Long Island when he was killed on Wednesday, September 30, just three days after their wedding. According to the police, their SUV veered into oncoming traffic and collided with a bus. Keturah was badly injured.

Suffolk County police said the newlywed who got married on Sunday, September 27, were traveling west along Main Road in Greenport when their vehicle swerved into the path of a Suffolk County Transit bus shortly before noon Wednesday.

They had been updating friends about their honeymoon with pictures posted on social media. "They were just the perfect couple,” Keturah’s mother, Catherine Stickann, said in a telephone interview. "That’s all I can tell you."

An unopened wedding present sat outside the couple’s Clinton Hill home, where neighbors were just finding out about the tragedy. The cause of the accident is still undetermined. According to their registry, the couple met in 2011.

Keturah Grünblatt is an opera director and choreographer, while her husband was a craftsman.
