    Man found dead in room at Hartford hotel

    Hartford — Hartford police are investigating the death of a man found unresponsive in a second-floor room of a city hotel with what authorities described as trauma to his head and face.

    Kashnielle Haye, 23, was found unresponsive in his rented room at the Super 8 just after 11 a.m. Sunday, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

    There appeared to have been a struggle in the room, Lt. Paul Cicero said, and evidence led investigators to classify Haye’s death a homicide.

    Police are reviewing surveillance video from the hotel and surrounding areas as part of the investigation but police do not think there is a threat to other guests.

    It was the second homicide of the year in the city.
