Reports: Greece Man Dies in Prison, After Assault While Handcuffed

The Greece man who died at a Utica-area prison last week was allegedly handcuffed while corrections officers assaulted him.

That's what sources told our Bob Lonsberry, and the Albany Times-Union has now confirmed that reporting.

And the Times-Union confirms there is body camera footage.

43-year-old Robert Brooks of Greece died last Tuesday at a hospital, following the incident at Marcy Correctional Facility.

Brooks was serving a 12-year sentence for 1st-degree assault, in the stabbing of his girlfriend in 2016.

13 officers at the prison are now suspended without pay, and the state Attorney General's Office is investigating.
