Denny Lovern
Denny Lovern was 59 years old and had a history of heart attacks and stents. His daughter, Darla Dailey, said they had been rebuilding their relationship in his last years, with her visiting often and him getting to know his grandchildren. He was held at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Colorado in April 2017, and died there on April 8, 2017. According to a lawsuit against Correct Care Solutions, his chest pains were treated as a stomach problem and he was not seen by a doctor, and he had vomited for more than a day before he was found unresponsive in his cell. These claims are the lawsuit's allegations and have not been decided in court.

The lawsuit by Denny Lovern's estate, through attorney Anna Holland Edwards, says staff treated his chest pains as a stomach problem and did not have a doctor see him despite his heart history, and that he was found unresponsive in his cell.
