Subway Chokehold Death Ruled Homicide

The death of a subway rider who was put into a chokehold by a former Marine on the train has been ruled a homicide. Jordan Neely, 30, died from compression of the neck, the city's medical examiner determined. Neely is recognizable to some New Yorkers as a Michael Jackson impersonator who regularly danced in the Times Square transit hub. On Monday afternoon, he was yelling and pacing back and forth on an F train in Manhattan, witnesses and police said, when he was restrained by at least three people, including a U.S. Marine veteran who pulled one arm tightly around his neck.
