Trauma ruled out as cause of death for professor
A medical examiner has ruled out trauma as a cause of death for a Yale University professor who died in detention one day after a struggle with police. Samuel See was an assistant professor of English and American studies. He was detained Nov. 23 by police who were responding to a report of a domestic dispute. He was charged with violating a protective order, threatening, and interfering with police. Police said that during his arrest See and officers fell and See was cut above his left eye. New Haven police said trauma was ruled out as a cause of death, but the medical examiner will not release a full autopsy report until a toxicology report is available.
