A prisoner in\u00a0Connecticut<\/a>\u00a0died Wednesday after hanging\u00a0himself with a coronavirus<\/a> mask given to inmates to limit the spread of the virus, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Daniel Ocasio, 32, of Windsor, was found by a staff member sitting on a bunk in his\u00a0Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center\u00a0cell at 5:07 a.m., with a ligature made from the cloth mask tied around his neck, the Department of Correction said.<\/p>\n

After he was discovered, correctional and medical staff called 911 and attempted life-saving measures, the department added. Ocasio was then transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead just before 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

The medical examiner\u2019s office ruled his death was a suicide on Thursday, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n

Ocasio had entered the prison on Aug. 5. He was being\u00a0held on an outstanding\u00a0charge of third-degree burglary and was unable to post a $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Amid rapidly spreading cases among inmates in U.S. prisons,\u00a0some advocates have urged they should have\u00a0more\u00a0personal protective equipment, while others have argued the masks could be used to harm themselves or others, according to the paper.<\/a><\/p>\n

The ligature had been fashioned from one of the cloth masks\u00a0issued to inmates.<\/p>\n
