I'm not family so I don't know all the details. I was told that he was arrested and died in his cell less then 24 hours after he was brought in. He died after suffering from withdrawals and no one would help him. Again I don't know everything that happened but the family is trying to sue the county and hold them responsible. I will let them know how they can get a hold of you (if they would like to at all).

I barely knew him but I would say he was, and it probably wasn't just alcohol. He lived a hard life and self medicated everyday.

I asked this question in response to one of your answers but just in case I will ask it again. I have a friend whose father died this year, after he was arrested, from withdrawals in his holding cell. Would this count as a death caused by police?
