A “Notice of Claim” has been filed against Rockland County and the Town of Clarkstown by the family of a Central Nyack teen who died after an hours-long standoff at his home earlier this year. Social workers and police were called to the home of 19 year-old Sean Harris for a reported domestic disturbance. Back in May, Clarkstown Police said Harris refused several orders to drop a baseball bat, prompting an officer to use a “less lethal impact munition” on him. Police said they found Harris sitting in a bathroom with hundreds of pills. He was taken to Montefiore Nyack Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Rockland County Executive Ed Day told “The Morning Show” Friday he is aware of the family’s filing…
The Journal News reported that the notice alleges false imprisonment, assault, battery, wrongful death, negligence, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, deliberate indifference to medical care and denial of medical care.
