Will Schultz
Will Schultz, 33, of Hillsboro, died in November 2022 while held at the Marion County Jail, about six days after he was booked there. A detective told his former wife that he lay down to nap in his cell and never woke up, and the death has been attributed to a fentanyl overdose, which the article links to fentanyl he had snorted. Outside investigators finished their work in October 2023 and sent the results to the district attorney, but according to the Salem Reporter, county officials have not made the findings public. A later report says a grand jury indicted another man on drug-related charges in connection with the death.
