Anthony Deshon Anderson
Anthony Deshon Anderson, 40, was held at the Kitsap County Jail in Port Orchard, Washington, in February 2019. Port Orchard Deputy Chief Dale Schuster said at the time that officials did not yet know the cause of death and that an investigation had been opened. Anderson was found in his cell on Friday, and fire and rescue medics pronounced him dead. A Kitsap Sun report published in January 2020 said he was found with self-inflicted injuries and pronounced dead within half an hour, and that the Port Orchard Police Department led the investigation with help from the county's critical incident team. The two accounts give different dates for his death, February 22 and February 21, 2019.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. One account reports that he was found in his cell with self-inflicted injuries and pronounced dead within a half-hour, while Port Orchard Deputy Chief Dale Schuster said officials did not yet know the cause and opened an investigation.
