The family Lashawn Thompson, a Georgia inmate who died in a bedbug-infested cell at the Fulton County Jail has released the results of their independent autopsy and renewed their calls for justice over his death.

Thompson, 35, died in September 2022, three months after being booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. His body was discovered in a cell on the psychiatric floor covered in bedbugs and insects after he was unable to pay his $2,500 bail for a misdemeanor charge.

Calling Thompson's death "one of the most deplorable in-custody deaths in the history of America," Attorney Ben Crump said the family's commissioned autopsy determined that the Georgia man did not receive the treatment that he needed for his mental illness.
