A man in Rikers Island died Tuesday morning, becoming the eighth New Yorker to die in city jail custody this year, advocates said.

Donny Ubiera, 33, died inside the jail’s George R. Vierno Center, according to a statement from The Legal Aid Society.

Advocates insisted that Ubiera’s family deserves immediate answers from Department of Correction officials and jail medical staff on what led to his death, writing that “all too often, our client’s loved ones are deprived of even the most basic information following the passing of a relative.”
