Bodi arrived at the apartment Sunday, armed with a knife. Police say he confronted his wife and grabbed a samurai sword on the wall. Police say he sliced her on the top of the head and was confronted by his daughter and her husband, who tried to wrestle the sword from him.
A police spokesman says it appears the 53-year-old Bodi was suffocated. He was taken to Waterbury Hospital where he died.
A message seeking information was left Monday with the chief medical examiner's office.
