The Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office said she died on June 19, 2020, at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, where she had been held since late May, from coronary artery disease, with an enlarged heart and acute myocardial ischemia as contributing factors. Before she died, she complained of chest pain, shortness of breath and vomiting, and was taken to the jail's infirmary, where she was reportedly given an EKG before being returned to her cell. Hours later she died in her cell. Activists dispute whether she received adequate medical care.
