NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) The death of a medical school graduate from the Bahamas while in the custody of New London police has been ruled a homicide, but authorities say that doesn't mean officers committed any crimes.

The Day of New London reports that the Chief Medical Examiner's Office ruled recently that the Oct. 4 death of 31-year-old Lashano Gilbert was a homicide, caused by a fight with police that led to complications with what appeared to be a sickle cell disease condition.

Police say Gilbert was arrested for an attempted carjacking and died after fighting with officers and being shot with a stun gun twice within an eight-hour period.

State police are still investigating Gilbert's death.

The homicide ruling means Gilbert's death was at least in part caused by another person.
