Don't know, but NYPD forbids the use of choke holds for very good reason. I don't know much about the background of this story, but on the surface it sounds like the suspect wasn't resisting (any more than anyone deprived of oxygen would). I'll note that it appears pretty hard to get an indictment of a cop for an on-duty incident - even when department policy is violated and someone dies as a result.
