The mother of a man who died of leukemia last year while imprisoned in a St. Louis County jail filed a federal wrongful-death lawsuit last week, according tomultiple reports.
Lamar Catchings was found dead in his jail cell in March 2019, the St. Louis Dispatch reported. He had been in custody at the St. Louis County Justice Center since April 2018.
The case, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis by Tashonda Troupe, alleges that the county s corrections officers and jail staff admitted to authorities that they have failed to follow health policies for inmates, according to the outlet.
