EAST HAMPTON, Conn. (AP) — A man described by police as a "person of interest" in the slaying of an East Hampton woman has been found dead in an apparent suicide.


Police say 22-year-old Oscar Wojtanowski (wodg-tuh-NOW-skee) apparently killed himself Sunday by jumping from a five-story parking garage at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville.

Police say he was being investigated in connection with the death of 24-year-old Jaclyn Fitzgerald, who was found dead inside her home on Friday after being reported missing.

Autopsies are being conducted on both bodies.

East Hampton Police Chief Matt Reimondo says Wojtanowski was Fitzgerald's on-and-off boyfriend, and that the couple had a "rocky relationship."

The chief says the investigation in Fitzgerald's death continues.
