Kaepernick funds autopsy for inmate who died in insect-infested jail cell.
Colin Kaepernick will pay for an independent autopsy of Lashawn Thompson, a Georgia jail inmate who died last year while covered in insects. Thompson's family and their attorneys have called for the closure of the jail and requested a criminal investigation into his death. Kaepernick launched the Autopsy Initiative last year to offer free, secondary autopsies to family members of anyone whose death is "police-related."
