One of two men charged with assaulting a person on Candlewood Lake this summer has died and his case was dismissed.  The courts dismissed the case yesterday against 29-year old Neil Yandow.  He and 41-year old Richard Nigro were charged for allegedly strangling and punching a 25-year-old man on Sand Island in New Fairfield on July 14th.  The cause of death for Yandow has not yet been disclosed.  According to arrest warrant affidavits, the victim sustained facial disfigurement over a misunderstanding.  Police say the owner of a boat made a comment about the bathing suit of a woman they were with coming off as they jumped in the water.  The woman was Nigro’s wife and Yandow’s sister.  The pair allegedly attacked the victim because they thought he made the remark.  Nigro has a pre-trial hearing scheduled for October 23rd.
