Michael LeMay
Michael Scott LeMay, 51, was held at the Jessamine County jail in Kentucky when another person held there attacked him on March 18, 2022. He died on March 23 at UK Hospital, and a later report said he was a disabled Army veteran who loved telling stories to his family and friends and reading and reciting the Bible. His family said they find peace knowing he is with the Lord, and he was set to be buried at Camp Nelson. A Jessamine County grand jury indicted the other person for murder, and detectives said the charge would be upgraded.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. A grand jury attributed his death to injuries from a beating by another inmate, and the case against the alleged attacker is being upgraded.
Reported by: Jessamine County Grand Jury (court); Fayette County Coroner's Office (medical examiner or coroner); Jessamine County Detention Center (the agency that held him).
