Died in jail or a lockup
Rachel Gayheart
Rachel Gayheart was the sister of actress Rebecca Gayheart, and sources say the two were close and that Rebecca had helped her in the past. She was held at the Perry County jail in Kentucky and was taken to Hazard ARH Medical Center, where she died in August 2017 after several days in hospital. Lonnie Brewer, the jail administrator, confirmed the death and said he did not know the cause. The Perry County coroner had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication, so the cause and circumstances remain unconfirmed.
