South Windsor police have arrested a man who is accused of causing his brother's death in 2017.
Officers said 29-year-old Daniel Epstein is facing manslaughter charges after police said he caused the death of his brother, 31-year-old Marc Epstein.
According to police, a visiting nurse reported that she had gone to the home to administer daily medication to two residents. When she arrived, she found suspicious conditions and asked officers to come check on the residents.
Police found the body of one resident, later identified as Marc Epstein, in a bedroom, authorities said. The other resident, Daniel Epstein, was located shortly after at a relative's home on Brian Road.
Daniel Epstein was transported to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation at the time and remained confined to hospitals until his release on Tuesday, police said.
Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Daniel Epstein for causing his brother's death, according to officers.
