Jesse Wampler
Jesse Wampler, 46, was held at the Leon County Detention Facility in Tallahassee, Florida. On Saturday, October 4, 2025, he had a medical emergency and was taken to the medical unit run by YesCare, where he was pronounced dead around 3 p.m., according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, and the Medical Examiner's Office will perform an autopsy, with officials saying they do not suspect foul play. A later county review of the Sheriff's Office investigation, reported in June 2026, describes the death as an overdose and says it found no evidence of foul play, differing from the earlier medical-emergency account.
