Name not reported
A person whose name has not been released died while held at the Burleson County Jail in Bryan, Texas. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards later issued a notice of non-compliance, saying jail staff did not give medications as prescribed and did not carry out required in-person checks on people held there. The commission is requiring corrective action. The sheriff's office had not responded to requests for comment at the time of reporting.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (neglect alleged). The Texas Commission on Jail Standards says jail staff did not give medications as prescribed and did not carry out required in-person checks, but the commission's notice does not state how the detainee died.
