Tell us how you would have broke him out of a locked facility. I guess all families leave their loved ones in prison to rot. What do you propose the family could have done? Visitation could have been taken away, I dont know. Have the state check up on him? You mean the same State govt who let the shit get out of hand in first place? Tell me what the family could have done. I see youve never had family or friends in prison/jail/mental hospital. Good for you.Hid family left him there to rot too...they shouldn't get a dime...
Those responsible should be charged
How the fuck does this even happen? Who is in charge of the facility? Absolutely criminal. A lot of people are going to be paying for this neglect, hopefully.
What? How the fuck are you going to blame the family for this?
This was 100% on the county jail. He was in their care.
yes...it's an absolute disgrace to the state of Georgia.isnt fulton county the same place of the great Fani Willis and Trump trial?
He wasn't bailed out so the concern level from the family is in serious question plus he was months in jail and no one from the family knew what was going on with him? Point is they shouldn't cash out on this mans suffering as was suggested by @HunterAcosta
The perpetrators should be in prison.
They did cash out at 4mil.
Who indeed.
Any word from the DA who sent him there, or was she busy paying guys to have sex with her?
- Some guys atracted to those jobs have power-trips.Awful. This is the problem with dehumanizing criminals or mentally ill. A society should be judged on how it treats its damaged people, even criminals. Im not saying that criminals should have big screen tvs or cell phones(every prison has cell phone for prisoners, you can thank the corrupt guards for that) but basic medical attention should be provided and have a fuckin heart. Letting someone die like that is reprehensible and I hope the family gets millions though it wont bring him back.
The family of a man who passed away inside a US jail after being left to rot in conditions that were compared to a 'death chamber' have told how he suffered one of the worst deaths imaginable.
LaShawn Thompson was found unresponsive in his cell in a psychiatric wing of the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on 13 September, 2022, while swarmed in insects.
The 35-year-old, who had schizophrenia, had been arrested in June that year on a misdemeanour simple battery charge against police officials - but did not have the funds to post bail.
During his three month stint at the Fulton County Jail, he lost a whopping 18 percent of his body weight.
Thompson was then found dead in his cell, while an autopsy released by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office listed his cause of death as 'undetermined'.
But his family suspected foul play and ordered an independent medical review in the hopes of getting to the bottom of what had happened to him in May last year, and the results shocked the world.
It emerged that Thompson had been living in horrific conditions and was 'neglected to death', while suffering from 'dehydration, malnutrition and severe body insect infestation', which were each listed as contributors to his passing.
The autopsy, obtained by ABC News, also listed 'untreated decompensated schizophrenia' as another factor.
According to attorneys for the Thompson family, Ben Crump and Michael Harper, the 35-year-old had passed away with his eyes open - while his eyelids were surrounded by bugs.
He had been suffering from a severe body insect infestation, which included lice and bed bugs, before his death.
Harper said last year that jail officials had 'literally watched his health decline until he died', adding that the cell was 'was not fit for a diseased animal' and the environment he endured was 'inexcusable and deplorable'.
"They left him there essentially," he continued.
"And they had a plan to take him to the medical observation unit, but their plan never happened, and they found him dead, eaten by these bed bugs."
