    David Burnham, a former investigative reporter for The New York Times
    whose expose of corruption in the New York City Police Department in
    1970 led to public hearings; tarnished top officials, including the
    mayor; and inspired the movie "Serpico," about Mr. Burnham's chief
    source, Detective Frank Serpico, died on Tuesday at his home in Spruce
    Head, Maine. He was 91. His wife, Joanne Omang, said his heart stopped
    after a choking incident at dinner.
