Dive Brief:

• New Haven police said a delay in releasing information on the death of a Yale professor in a detention cell was an "oversight."
• The three-day delay in releasing information to the media was in part because of a university lockdown that happened the day after Samuel See's death, police said. 
• The death of the 34-year-old professor after an arrest in a domestic incident is still under investigation.

Dive Insight:

The university lockdown came after a Nov. 25 report of a gunman on campus, but was later determined to likely be a hoax. A press release was reportedly planned for that day, but didn't go out. As reported yesterday, New Haven's police chief says an internal inquiry into See's death could take weeks.
