Hayes out of Hospital, Back in Prison

SUFFIELD, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut official says a man charged in the killings of a woman and her two daughters during a 2007 home invasion is back in prison, after having been hospitalized in what authorities said was a medically induced coma.
     Correction Department spokesman Brian Garnett says Steven Hayes was returned to the MacDougall-Walker prison in Suffield Tuesday morning.
     New Haven Superior Court Judge Jon Blue said Monday that Hayes' lawyer told him that Hayes was found unresponsive in his cell Sunday and was in a medically induced coma at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
     Authorities have declined to confirm a report by The Hartford Courant that Hayes overdosed on medication.
     Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky, are charged in the home invasion killings in Cheshire.
