Bridgeport inmate dies in upstate prison
BRIDGEPORT -- The death of a Bridgeport man, apparently strangled in the upstate prison where he was incarcerated, is being investigated as a homicide.
Reynaldo Robles, 22, held at the Northern Correctional Institution in Somers for violating terms of his probation, died of asphyxiation by neck compression in his cell, according to an autopsy by the Chief State Medical Examiner's Office.
On Tuesday, about 3:30 p.m., Robles' cellmate, Jose Jusino, 22, had alerted prison guards that Robles appeared to be unconscious on the cell's bottom bunk.
Robles was transported by ambulance to Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford Springs, where he was pronounced dead.
The State Police Major Crime Squad is investigating the incident.
