Adam Bryant
Adam Bryant, 29, was held in solitary confinement at the Vigo County Jail in Terre Haute, Indiana, in December 2022. His family's lawsuit says that as his condition worsened over his final days, he was vomiting, in severe stomach pain and hallucinating, and that staff failed to get him the care he needed. He talked with his mother by phone in his last weeks, told her he did not want to die, and asked her not to tell his father what he was going through. He died of hyponatremia shortly after midnight on December 25, 2022, and the family is pursuing a lawsuit over his death. The jail's claim that he received his prescribed medication is disputed, with video reportedly contradicting it.
