Gregory Silva
Gregory Silva, 47, was the grandson of Henrietta Napolis, who struggled for months to learn how he died. He died in 2016 at the Kauai Community Correctional Center, where he was being held. State Department of Public Safety officials gave his family little information about his death. A Honolulu Civil Beat investigation later reported that he died from a toxic reaction to methamphetamine he obtained while in custody. His death led to proposed legislation requiring the state to disclose more information about deaths in custody.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of an overdose. Honolulu Civil Beat's investigation reported that he died of a toxic reaction to methamphetamine he obtained while in custody.
Reported by: Honolulu Civil Beat investigation (reporters).
