Feds Order State Probe into Apparent Suicide

Newark Police

Federal agencies are calling on Delaware state officials to investigate the apparent suicide of Clay McInnis III late last month.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that its sources close to the investigation says he was refused admission to the Rockford Center in Stanton.

The state Medical Examiner’s Office and the Delaware state police have refused to disclose how the 38-year old man died even after they wrapped up their probes into his death.

The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services will be looking at the records and talking with employees involved in the case.

The request for the follow up investigation came from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
