claimed was “eaten alive by insects and bed bugs” in the Fulton County JailThompson’s family spoke out in a press conference outside the Georgia State Capitol on Monday, along with their attorneys Ben Crump and Michael Harper, where they announced the results of the independent autopsy in which Thompson’s cause of death is listed as “homicide.”
“It's enough that the bed bugs and lice sat there and ate my brother to death, but it’s the neglect that hurts me the most,” said Thompson’s brother Brad McCray during the press conference on Monday. The Fulton County autopsy, which was obtained by ABC News, was completed on Sept. 14, 2022 – a day after Thompson’s death – and listed the conditions of “Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar and acute exacerbation.”
His death led to resignations at the Fulton County Jail after the family claimed that Thompson was left in a filthy cell where he was "eaten alive by insects and bed bugs" where staff allegedly ignored his medical needs.
