Lawsuit filed after inmate's pleas for medical care ignored, leading to jail death
The family of Lucas Bellamy is suing Hennepin County Jail over his "horrific" death, alleging that he was forced to crawl and beg for medical care before dying from a perforated bowel. A video of his final moments has been shared, prompting the family to seek justice and accountability for what they believe was neglect and abuse. The lawsuit names Hennepin Healthcare System and Hennepin County, and the family hopes to raise awareness to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
