Autopsy reveals neglect as cause of death in Georgia jail.

TL;DR Summary
An independent autopsy paid for by Colin Kaepernick has ruled the death of Lashawn Thompson, an inmate at Fulton County Jail, a homicide resulting from "severe neglect." Thompson suffered from schizophrenia and was untreated, suffering from dehydration and malnutrition. The jail was essentially "a torture chamber," according to the family's attorney. The family is seeking accountability, and the Fulton County medical examiner will be held accountable for Thompson's death in September 2022. The autopsy initiative has funded at least 42 autopsies across 15 states for police-related or in-custody death cases.
