James Edward Gore
James Edward Gore was 74 and lived in Farmington, Arkansas. According to the Washington County Sheriff's Department, he stopped breathing while being moved from the Washington County Detention Center to an ambulance. A later court filing by his attorney described a tumor removal, progressive dementia and cognitive decline, and said he could no longer communicate, and a judge had agreed to lower his bond so he could be released to hospice care. A news headline described him as dying on the way to hospice after being released from the detention center, a account that differs from the sheriff's description. The Arkansas State Police will investigate the death.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined. The Washington County Sheriff's Department says Gore stopped breathing while being moved from the detention center to an ambulance, and the manner of death is pending a State Police investigation.
Reported by: Washington County Sheriff's Department (the agency that held him). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held him.
