Gov. Phil Murphy announced his death Tuesday, but did not identify him by name.

Brennan’s death prompted MGM Resorts International, which owns the historic Yonkers racing track, to close the gates and ask employees who worked with Brennan to self-quarantine.

“We believe the last time he was on the property to be approximately eight days ago,” MGM said in a statement Tuesday. “We offer our condolences to his family during this difficult time.”

“As a result of this development, the racetrack will be shut down as of this afternoon, and we have asked employees who worked in the immediate area to self-quarantine,” the statement said.

“We will continue to coordinate with and follow the guidance of health officials and support them in their response and prevention efforts.”

Brennan’s family did not immediately return calls for comment.
