The medical examiner’s office ruled the manner of death an accident. There were no signs of significant trauma, and the toxicology report for drugs and alcohol was negative.

Accidental my ass.

Every medical examiner who lies like this should lose their job AND be charged.

The investigation concluded “there was no definitive evidence that WCI correctional custody, maintenance, or medical staff failed to perform their duties in such a manner that contributed to the death of Inmate Healy (sic).”

It’s one of those no-fault dehydration deaths of an inmate fully under the control of the state. They did everything right and he just somehow didn’t get water, wellness checks, or treatment.

Imagine if this was a child, another class of citizen that is assumed to be the responsibility of someone else who basically controls their lives and needs. The guardian, who doesn’t have a full time paying job with training and oversight about caring for them, nor a network of cameras and logged activities, would be assumed to be negligent and put on trial in both court and the media.

Everyone should read the article. This is so much worse than a man dying off dehydration, and even that is a terrible way to go.
