Nina Singleton
Nina Singleton, 35, died in 2023 while held at the Cook County Jail in Illinois. According to the summary of her case, she was visibly unwell in the jail's mental health unit the night before she died, and other people held there had to help her back to her bed. She was found dead the next morning, and the death has been recorded as an overdose, though no official source is named for that claim. Her mother, Nicole Brown, says a member of the sheriff's office told her of the death but never followed up with answers, and that she tried repeatedly to learn what had happened to her daughter.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of an overdose (neglect alleged). The jail's records list an overdose, and her mother says staff never gave the family answers, but the sources given do not establish the cause beyond that; other detainees reportedly had to help her to bed the night before she was found dead.
Reported by: Cook County Jail (the agency that held her); Nina Singleton's mother (family or their lawyers).
