From the article:


Murdough had been arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge for sleeping in an enclosed stairwell in a Harlem public housing building and sent to Rikers after being unable to make $2,500 bail. His family did not learn about his death until they were contacted nearly a month later by the AP.
