A 46-year-old Haitian man died in 2020 at South Central Correctional Center in Licking, Missouri, after what the prison's investigation described as a sudden heart attack during breakfast. He was pronounced dead that afternoon. The prison investigation reported no major health history, but his medical records, as reported by The Marshall Project, documented heart disease, high cholesterol, and an earlier heart attack at the prison. The records raise a question about whether his known heart condition was reflected in the investigation's account of his health.

Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. The prison investigation and autopsy report attribute his death to a sudden heart attack during breakfast.

Reported by: prison investigation; autopsy report.
