Name not reported
A person held at the Tulsa Municipal Jail died after being placed in a full-body restraining device, according to an investigation by The Frontier, which lists the death among those it describes as preventable. The investigation reports that employees had repeatedly warned about the care and supervision of people held at the jail before this death. In a separate death at the same jail, a person died of a methamphetamine overdose, and The Frontier reports that none of the three overdose deaths it counts were found in the jail's sobering area, as state law requires.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by staff (neglect alleged). The Frontier's investigation says the death followed placement in a full-body restraining device and lists it among deaths it calls preventable, after employees repeatedly warned about inmate care and supervision.
