The inmate who died at a Utica-area prison last week has been identified as a Monroe County man.
The state Corrections Department says 43-year-old Robert Brooks of Greece died last Tuesday at a hospital, following a "use-of-force" incident at the Marcy Correctional Facility.
Brooks was serving a 12-year sentence for 1st-degree assault, in the stabbing of his girlfriend in 2016.
Authorities have not said what exactly caused his death.
The officers involved are now on administrative leave, and the state Attorney General's Office is investigating.
