Protest held after medical examiner rules inmate's death a homicide [Breaking]
A small demonstration was held in front of the downtown Central Jail Saturday morning to protest the death of Lonnie Rupard.
Rupard was one of 19 people who died in a San Diego jail last year, a record-high number of deaths for the Sheriff’s Department. A 20th person was released from custody while hospitalized and died a short time later. According to his autopsy report, Rupard lost 60 pounds in the three months he was incarcerated. The 5-foot-9-inch man weighed only 105 pounds at the time of his death, the report said.
“The psychiatrist noted the cell was dirty with trash throughout,” the report said. “The toilet was full of excrement and the room was malodorous. There was feces on the floor and food smeared on the walls. The decedent was described as unkempt and dirty himself.”
