Zebedee Pittman

Zebedee Pittman, a 60-year-old Black man, died in custody at the Madison Parish Correctional Center in Tallulah, Louisiana, on August 2, 2021, according to records compiled by Incarceration Transparency. Those records list heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as the cause of death and a natural manner. A lawsuit by the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center and Casey Denson Law, reported by The Advocate in October 2021, concerns deaths at this facility in 2020, and the sources do not connect it to Mr. Pittman's death.

Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. Incarceration Transparency's records list his cause of death as atherosclerotic cardiovascular heart disease, and classify it as natural.

Reported by: Incarceration Transparency (advocates).
