Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker on Monday is expected to provide an update Monday on the status of his office’s investigation into the death of Francis Gigliotti a week ago while in Haverhill Police custody. The district attorney will share City of Haverhill video camera footage, as well as bystander videos showing 43-year-old Gigliotti before and through the time he became “unresponsive” around Friday, July 11, around 6:30 p.m., on a sidewalk on the outskirts of downtown Haverhill. No advance information was provided about whether any findings by the chief medical examiner will be available. Tucker and Haverhill Police Chief Robert P. Pistone Jr. said in a release last Saturday afternoon that Gigliotti fell while leaving a building on White Street near the intersection of Winter and Emerson Streets.
