A state board ordered the release of a former Florida man, who officials said ki1led a homeless man and then ate his brain and eyeballs.
It was a case that made national news.
Tyree Smith, who grew up in Bridgeport and Ansonia, was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity following a trial in July 2013 and ordered committed to a state psychiatric hospital for 60 years
But this week, the state Psychiatric Security Review Board, ruled that Smith, after spending 10 years in the state’s most secure psychiatric hospital, is ready to be tr@nsitioned into the community. He has since been released and will be living in a Waterbury group home, according to the report. He is not to associate with anyone involved in criminal activity, the report states.
“Tyree Smith is an individual with a psychiatric illness requiring care, custody and treatment," the board stated in its report. "Since his last hearing Tyree Smith has continued to demonstrate clinical stability. Mr. Smith is medication compliant, actively engaged in all recommended forms of treatment, and has been symptom-free for many years.”
Vanessa Cardella, executive director of the review board, confirmed in an email that the board had approved Smith’s application for temporary leave from the Whiting Forensic Hospital but declined comment.
During the trial Smith's cousin, Nicole Rabb, testified that in December 2011 Smith had showed up at her door in Bridgeport talking about Greek gods and ruminating about needing to go out and get blood. When she saw him the next evening she noticed what appeared to be specks of blood on his pants and that he was carrying chopsticks and a bloody ax.
Rabb said she kicked Smith out of her Seaview Avenue apartment after he told her he had ki1led a man with the ax and then ate the man's brain and eyeballs in the Lakeview Cemetery, while drinking sake. She said he told her he intended to eat more people here.
A month later, police found Angel Gonzalez's mutilated body in the vacant apartment on Brooks Street in Bridgeport where Smith had lived as a child.
Police later recovered the bloody ax and an empty bottle of sake in a stream bed near the Boston Avenue cemetery.
The defense's case rested mainly on the testimony of Yale University psychiatrist Dr. Reena Kapoor, who said at the time Smith retained his lust for human flesh after his arrest, even offering to eat her.
Kapoor claimed Smith suffered from psychotic incidents since childhood and heard voices that told him to ki1l people. She said the voices ordered Smith to eat the victim's brain so they would get a better understanding of human behavior and the eyes so that they could see into the "spirit realm."
She said Smith went to Subway after eating the man's body parts.
The board’s report states that Smith has denied auditory or visual hallucinations and stated he had not heard voices in many years. It continues that he denied suicidal and homicidal ideation and there was no evidence of “internal preoccupation or paranoia.”
“He denied experiencing cravings but stated that if they were to arise, he would reach out to his hospital and community supports and providers,” the report states
