Christina Morando, 22, was pronounced dead on July 19, 2009 at 11:32pm at Metrowest Hospital. She had been an inmate at MCI Framingham. Ms. Morando was found with a ligature around her neck in her cell at 10:41pm. An emergency medical response was initiated which resulted in her being transported to Metrowest Hospital in Framingham, where she was pronounced dead. Allegedly the incident resulted with one dead, one effectively brain dead, and one transferred to a mental health facility.
Emergency response procedures were complied with pursuant to department policy, but as in all cases like this, the incident is under investigation. The Middlesex County District Attorney’s office has been notified.
Ms. Morando was sentenced on January 7, 2009 with a sentence effective date of May 28, 2008 to two to six years for accessory before the fact, armed assault with intent to rob/murder. Her parole eligibility date was May 9, 2010.
There were two other suicide attempts this weekend at MCI Framingham,
which resulted in their hospitalizations. Due to medical
confidentiality, we cannot discuss their medical conditions. These
incidents are under investigation.
