Anthony Chavious
Anthony Landon Chavious, 40, died on February 14, 2016, while held at the Sampson County Detention Center in Clinton, North Carolina. The detention center said staff found him unresponsive on the floor of his cell. The Sampson County Medical Examiner is reviewing the death, and the State Bureau of Investigation declined to investigate, saying it found no signs of foul play or self-injury. A North Carolina state list of jail deaths for 2015 to 2017 records the cause as natural, while the detention center's own release gave the manner as pending review.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. The state's list of jail deaths gives natural causes, while the Sampson County Detention Center says the medical examiner is still reviewing the death.
