Sandi Hill
Sandi Hill, 51, was held at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The sheriff's office said she was found unresponsive in her housing unit on the night of November 1, 2025, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after midnight, while a later WCNC report gave the date as November 30 and December 1. The Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death natural, from volvulus, a twisted intestine, and noted that she had complained of abdominal pain beforehand. WCNC reported that the autopsy also found resuscitation injuries, including rib fractures. The State Bureau of Investigation's in-custody death investigation has not released its results.
