Tyrone Lee Bailey
Tyrone Lee Bailey died on April 19, 2019, while held at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail in Virginia. He had lung cancer, and according to a Jail Review Committee summary, several of his chemotherapy treatments were delayed, in one case by 77 days. The committee said the medical scheduler limited outside appointments to five per day because of transportation officer workload. The available accounts do not establish how the delays were decided or whether they affected his outcome, and these points remain open.
Cause of death, as reported: Died from neglect by staff. The Jail Review Committee says Bailey, who had lung cancer, had several chemotherapy treatments delayed, once by 77 days, because outside appointments were capped at five a day due to transportation officer workload.
Reported by: Jail Review Committee.
