Cef Green

25 years old · died March 4, 2025 · Fulton County Jail, Fulton County, Georgia

Cef Green, 25, died while held at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. According to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, he was found unresponsive in his cell, and jail medical staff gave emergency aid before paramedics took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The sheriff's office said preliminary findings suggest suicide, but the medical examiner's autopsy and the Atlanta police investigation were still pending to determine the cause of death. A later WABE report listing four deaths at the jail that year included a man named Cef Green III, but gave no circumstances for that death, so it is unclear whether it concerns the same person.

Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office says preliminary findings suggest suicide, and the medical examiner's autopsy is still pending.

Reported by: Fulton County Sheriff's Office (the agency that held him). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held him.
