Andrew Wiley
Andrew Wiley, 36, died on June 19, 2025, while held at the Leon County Detention Facility in Tallahassee, Florida. The Leon County Sheriff's Office said he suffered a medical emergency, was taken to the medical unit and treated, and was pronounced dead later that day. A preliminary medical examiner report, cited by the sheriff's office, attributes his death to a pulmonary embolism and natural causes, though an autopsy was pending to confirm the cause and manner. His brother said Wiley had no chronic medical conditions and that the family had not yet received the autopsy report and had retained an attorney, and public suspicion about the death has been raised.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness (disputed). The sheriff's office and a preliminary medical examiner report attribute his death to a pulmonary embolism, while his family says he had no chronic medical conditions and is waiting for the autopsy report.
Reported by: Leon County Sheriff's Office (the agency that held him); medical examiner's preliminary report (medical examiner or coroner); State Attorney Jack Campbell; his brother.
