Family of man who died in jail wants investigation

BY DAN E. WAY : The Herald-Sun, Sep 6, 2006 : 11:01 pm ET

DURHAM -- Relatives of a man who died in the Durham County Jail are demanding an investigation into why he was held 17 days on a suicide watch under psychiatric care and prescribed anti-psychotic medication even though he had no history of mental illness and there was no indication on his arrest report that he was anything other than drunk and disorderly.

"relatives reported him missing to police and went to the jail looking for him, ironically, about the same time he was dying in his cell. "
