Police Bury Prisoner with No Investigation and Without Notifying His Family

Bronx, NY — A family is now heartbroken after attempting to get in touch with their incarcerated son only to find out that he’d died months prior and had been buried without any word. To make matters worse, the prison never conducted an investigation into his death, and the family has still yet to receive a cause of death.
The family of the deceased, Lonnie Hamilton, received this horrible news earlier this month after unsuccessfully trying to call him, write him, and eventually going to the state’s correctional website. When they logged into the website to see if he’d been transferred, Hamilton’s family was shocked to find that he was listed as “deceased.”
They thought it was a horrible joke; unfortunately, it was not.
His death occurred nearly two months prior and no one in the jail ever attempted to notify the family.“I want to know why my son is dead.
I want to know why you buried him without asking me. I want to know why we weren’t allowed to properly send him off,” Hamilton’s father, Lonnie Hamilton Sr. said in an interview with NY1.
When NY1 asked if he knew where his son was buried, Lonnie Hamilton replied, “I don’t know.”Read more at
