Delayed death notification an ‘oversight,’ New Haven police say
New Haven police said a three-day delay in releasing information about the death of a Yale professor while in detention was an oversight. Police announced Nov. 27 that Samuel See had been found unresponsive in his cell at the detention facility the previous Sunday. Assistant Chief Archie Generoso told the New Haven Register that the announcement would probably have been made Nov. 25, the day after See’s death, but that police and other authorities were preoccupied that day with an anonymous report of a gunman at Yale University. See, 34, was an assistant professor of English and American studies and was on leave. He had been charged with violating a protective order, threatening, and interfering with police.
