Gregory Brown
Gregory Brown died while held in the Tulsa County jail in Oklahoma in March 2012. His estate's lawsuit says he had a history of serious health problems and waited about four days to see a doctor despite repeated requests, and that a request for emergency care was refused as his symptoms worsened. The lawsuit says he had surgery and was moved to intensive care in critical condition before he died eight days later. A 2016 report says the jail's medical director delayed sending him to a hospital for days, and that doctors there told staff it was too late to save him.
