Eric Lee Marshall
Eric Lee Marshall, 29, was grieved at his funeral on October 25, 2010 by his father, sisters and brother, and a prison minister who had grown close to him said he was now "alive and well in the Lord." He died on October 15, 2010, at Detroit Receiving Hospital, a day after surgery, having been moved there from Mound Road Prison in Detroit. His family says he had a kidney and part of his liver removed during his imprisonment, was on dialysis, and told his brother he believed he was being poisoned. Brief local news reports gave heart failure as the cause of death, while his attorney says he was taken off life support without his family's consent, and the family's questions about his care are still open.
