Stephen Klampfer
Stephen Klampfer, 50, lived with severe schizophrenia and repeatedly ended up on the streets and in jail. His sisters, Maureen Gregg and Jeanne Flannery, described him as caught in a system that could not work out what to do for him. He was held at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, where he stayed for months after his release was approved because officials could not verify an address for him. In March 2019 he was housed on a medical unit with another man, who attacked him while he was sleeping, and he died at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center on April 13, 2019. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office has described his death as a homicide, and his family says they have received no answers about what happened.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office says another man attacked him while he was sleeping in a medical unit of the county jail.
