Died in prison
One of 30 people whose names were not reported
An unnamed man held at Attica Correctional Facility in New York was one of 33 prisoners killed on September 13, 1971, when state police, National Guardsmen and volunteers retook the prison during the uprising. The record lists his cause of death as gunshot wounds sustained in the crossfire during the retaking. Who fired the shots that struck him is not stated in the source.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by staff (disputed). Accounts say state police and National Guardsmen retook Attica in 1971 and killed the prisoner by gunfire in the crossfire, and the official account of the retaking is contested by the families and by the later state review.
Reported by: the state review of the Attica uprising (outside investigators).
