Bryce Bybee, 23, was found unresponsive in his cell at the Washington County Jail in Hillsboro, Oregon, on April 17, 2022. He was awaiting transfer to the Oregon State Hospital under a court order, and a backlog at the state hospital meant he was still waiting past the court-mandated deadline when he died. The State Medical Examiner's Office listed the manner of death as undetermined, citing complications of schizoaffective disorder and self-neglect, as reported by Oregon State Police. Police did not provide further specifics when asked.
