Michael Hudson
Michael Hudson, 46, died on August 22, 2023, while held at South Central Correctional Center in Licking, Missouri. Sources say he fell ill at the prison and died at a hospital. The Texas County Coroner, Marie Lasater, said the cause was not yet determined and could possibly be drug-related, and an autopsy later showed intestinal bleeding and gastritis, though she said it was not clear whether these caused his death. Toxicology results were expected in about three weeks, and the death was the third at the prison that month, with an investigation continuing.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined. Texas County Coroner Marie Lasater has not determined the cause of death, saying it could be drug-related and that an autopsy and toxicology results were pending.
Reported by: Texas County Coroner Marie Lasater (medical examiner or coroner).
