Carlos Anthony Davis, 50, died on November 17, 2020, at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids after being held at the Kent County Jail. He had tested positive for COVID-19 and had been moved to an isolation cell. Jail administrators said he fell down a flight of stairs on his way back to his cell and was then taken to the hospital, where he died. The autopsy attributed his death to a blood clot in the lung, which it said was caused by COVID-19, and the medical examiner's office classified it as natural.
