Kenneth Lynn Hurley
Kenneth Lynn Hurley, known to family as Kenny, was 55 and lived with schizophrenia. His sister Vickie Hanson remembers him as someone who would give half of any money he had to people in need, and who wanted people to like him. He died in his cell at the Multnomah County Detention Center on November 19, 2022, two days after being booked into the jail. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner lists pneumonia due to influenza and rhinovirus/enterovirus as the cause, with cardiovascular disease and obstructive pulmonary disease as contributing conditions. His sister questions how jail staff monitored his health and why no cameras covered his cell.
