Thomas Webster
Thomas Webster, 45, died in December 2012 while held at the Treasure Coast Forensic Treatment Center in Florida. He had complained of abdominal pain earlier that day, and was later found on the floor of his isolated cell with low blood pressure and labored breathing. According to the autopsy and Associate Medical Examiner Linda O'Neil, a severely impacted colon had lost its blood flow, and an infection spread into his bloodstream and killed him. The medical examiner could not determine whether fentanyl found in his blood contributed, and ruled the death natural; police did not investigate.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. Associate Medical Examiner Linda O'Neil ruled the death natural, attributing it to a severely impacted colon that lost its blood flow and led to a bloodstream infection, and said she could not determine whether fentanyl found in his blood contributed.
