A MAN found dead in an Atlanta jail covered in lice and faeces was malnourished, dehydrated and hadn’t been given his schizophrenia medicine for a month, a private coroner reported yesterday.
While the official Fulton County, Georgia coroner ruled last September that the cause of death of 35-year-old Lashawn Thompson was “undetermined,” Roger Mitchell, a medical examiner hired by Thompson’s family, said he was “neglected to death” and called it “homicide.”
