Banker killed in golf cart accident

WILLINGBORO -- A TD Bank executive was killed after falling out of a golf cart Friday evening, police said.

Frank Papotto, 44, Moorestown reportedly fell out of a moving golf cart shortly after 6 p.m. on Friday while at the Rancocas Country Club Golf Course, according to police.

Papotto was airlifted to the Cooper Trauma Center at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he later died from injuries sustained during the fall.

Police did not disclose how Papotto fell out of the golf court, but said the incident is under investigation.

TD Bank spokesperson Rebecca Acevedo said Papotto was a senior vice president in charge of call center operations at TD Bank, formerly Commerce Bank.

A bank employee for more than 28 years, Papotto worked out of the company's Mt. Laurel offices, she said.

"We're saddened by the turn of events and our thoughts are with his family," Acevedo said. "He was an icon of the bank and he'll be sorely missed."
