A man who died in a bedbug\u002Dinfested cell in a Georgia jail\u0027s psychiatric wing \u0022died due to severe neglect,\u0022 according to an independent autopsy
An earlier report from the Fulton County medical examiner’s office found no obvious signs of trauma on Thompson’s body but noted a “severe bed bug infestation.” It lists his cause of death as “undetermined.”.The new autopsy “confirms that this is one of the most deplorable in-custody deaths in the history of America,” said prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the family.
Labat, who took office in 2021 and has long advocated for a new jail, has said Thompson’s death shows that the current jail cannot provide “safe and humane detention.” His office did not immediately respond Monday to an email seeking comment on the independent autopsy report. Medical records from the jail indicate that Thompson received his last dose of the medications he’d been prescribed for his mental health issues 32 days before his death, the report says.
