Samuel Reyes died of an apparent suicide by hanging in a holding cell in November, but the NYPD hasn't given his family any information about the circumstances surrounding his death.

"While you can see her vomiting or retching, it was not readily apparent that death was imminent."

Cuomo said, "This kind of situation is the reason that I signed Executive Order 147 last month, because the justice system must have the trust of our communities."

"No one said anything to me about my wife was downstairs, dead. They just let me sit in the courtroom all day long, waiting for her to come and be seen by the judge."
