Tiffany Reeves
Tiffany Reeves, 37, was a mother of three, and her death drew national attention. She died on October 8, 2018, while held at Sussex Correctional Institution, a Delaware state prison, and the Delaware Department of Correction announced her death in a news release. A former facility nurse gave repeated accounts of checking on Reeves the night before, but video and witnesses contradicted those accounts, and the nurse entered them in official medical logs. The Delaware Department of Justice investigated and found no foul play, but it found discrepancies in the nurse's statements to law enforcement, which led to the nurse's misdemeanor convictions.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (neglect alleged). Delaware investigators found no foul play, but a former facility nurse's accounts of checking on her were contradicted by video and witnesses, and she entered those claims in medical logs.
