Kenneth George

Kenneth George, 30, had been on the village meter-reading crew in Dixie Inn since 2016, according to the Webster Parish chief deputy. Louisiana State Police said that while the crew was riding on the back of a moving village pickup truck, another crew member began slipping off, and George grabbed him and both fell to the pavement. George died from hitting the ground, and State Police described the other man's injuries as moderate and said they are investigating the accident. A separate custody record compiled by Incarceration Transparency lists George's death as October 18, 2018, from a brain injury, at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center in Minden, which differs from the State Police account of the date and place.

Cause of death, as reported: Died in an accident. Louisiana State Police say he fell from a moving village pickup truck while on an inmate crew, and Incarceration Transparency's records list a brain injury as the cause.
