March 13 (UPI) Rochester, N.Y., Mayor Lovely Warren and other officials misled the public about case of Daniel Prude, who died from asphyxiation in arrest last year, investigators found.
The law firm of Andrew Celli, the attorney leading the investigation, released a 84-page report Friday.

A few weeks earlier a grand jury declined to prosecute seven officers involved in arrest of Prude, 41, an unarmed Black man, that resulted in his death by asphyxiation as they covered his head and held him to the ground on March 23 of last year, after Prude s family called emergency services reporting he was in a mental health crisis.

A six-month fact-finding investigation into the city s handling of the Daniel Prude case ultimately blames Mayor Lovely Warren for keeping the matter under wraps and concludes she then misled the public about what she knew, and when.
Few new details emerged in the 84-page final report. But special investigator Andrew Celli drew conclusions on who and what is to be believed.
He also concluded that former Police Chief La Ron Singletary downplayed, omitted details and misdirected city officials and the public; that city Corporation Counsel Tim Curtin similarly misled officials and the public about material information; and he widely faulted the administration for its handling of the case.
