A 39-year-old man died on June 24, 2023, while held at the Tarrant County Jail in Texas, and his name has not been released.

He was found unresponsive in his cell after a medical emergency and was pronounced dead at John Peter Smith Hospital. The medical examiner had not yet released his name or cause of death, so the suicide finding and the claim that checks were done remain unverified.
