When the body of fireman Greg Hennessey, 49, was transported Wednesday morning north on the 5 freeway, fellow firefighters took the chance to salute him from overpasses along the drive.

Hennessey's body was being driven from the mortuary to the coroner's office for an autopsy and back, Orange County Fire Authority Division Chief Kris Concepcion said.

Hennessey died Monday of a heart attack inside Fire Station 45 at 30131 Aventura in Rancho Santa Margarita despite a quick effort to revive him, according to an OCFA statement.
