Anthony Bradley
Anthony Corey Bradley, 47, died in the Miller County Jail in Texarkana, Arkansas, in July 2018. A federal lawsuit filed by his family and estate, which his sister LaShundra Bradley is party to, says jail and contracted medical staff failed to give him his high blood pressure and stomach medications and did not respond as his condition worsened over more than a day. The lawsuit says a cell call button had been broken for months and that cellmates banged on doors for hours before staff responded. His cause of death is listed as acute peritonitis due to a ruptured duodenal ulcer, and the defendants have not yet responded to the complaint.
