Tyler O'Toole
Tyler O'Toole, 23, was on the autism spectrum, according to his parents, Mika and Larry O'Toole, who say the authorities holding him should have been fully aware of it. He died on February 17, 2021, after being hospitalized while in federal pretrial custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago. The Bureau of Prisons lists him as released that day, and federal agencies have not explained what happened, according to the family's attorney, Rob Kohen. The parents, who live in Cleveland, Ohio, want answers about how and why he died, and their attorney is investigating whether required policies and procedures were followed.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (disputed). Parents' attorney Rob Kohen says federal representatives have not explained the death and is investigating whether required policies and procedures were followed, while the cause remains unreported.
Reported by: Parents' attorney Rob Kohen (family or their lawyers).
