Dennis E. Williams Jr.
Dennis Williams was a man whom his mother described as a lovable guy who took care of his younger siblings, and she said he struggled with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He died on May 23, 2022, while held at Columbia Correctional Institution, a Florida state prison. His mother said she learned of his death from the prison chaplain, and that corrections officers found him dead in a cell with another man. The Florida Department of Corrections has recorded the manner of death as natural, but it has not released how he died, and the medical examiner said it would withhold information during a criminal investigation. His family says it is seeking answers and questions whether foul play or negligence was involved.
