Judgment affirmed.
The victim of this incident died eight days later from a subdural hematoma and lacerations and contusions of the brain. Unlike People v. Stewart ( 40 N.Y.2d 692), there is no evidence of any intervening event which could have caused the subdural hematoma. Consequently, there is sufficient evidence in the record to support the jury's finding that the death resulted from traumatic head injuries sustained at the time that the defendant took the victim's purse ( People v. Kibbe, 35 N.Y.2d 407).
Although the prosecutor made certain improper comments during summation, any prejudicial effect was dispelled by the court's prompt curative instructions and admonitions to the prosecutor ( People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396).
Defendant's other contentions have been considered and found to be without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Weinstein, Brown and Eiber, JJ., concur.
