BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The family of a second inmate who died while incarcerated in Alabama’s prison system is alleging that his body was also returned to them with missing organs.
The family of Brandon Clay Dotson, who died in a state prison in November, filed a federal lawsuit last month against the Alabama Department of Corrections and others saying his body was decomposing and his heart was missing when his remains were returned to his family.
In a court filing in the case last week, the daughter of Charles Edward Singleton, another deceased inmate, said her father’s body was missing all of his internal organs when it was returned in 2021.
Lauren Faraino, an attorney representing Dotson’s family, said via email Wednesday that the experience of multiple families shows this is “absolutely part of a pattern.”
The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment late Wednesday afternoon to the Alabama Department of Corrections.
Dotson, 43, was found dead on Nov. 16 at Ventress Correctional Facility. His family, suspecting foul play was involved in his death, hired a pathologist to do a second autopsy and discovered his heart was missing, according to the lawsuit.
His family filed a lawsuit seeking to find out why his heart was removed and to have it returned to them.

Dotson’s family, while seeking information about what happened to his heart, discovered that other families had similar experiences, Faraino said.
DOC apparently thinks they can undercut Uyghur prices.
The Alabama DOC has no heart.
Heart missing?
Try San Francisco..............
Well organ harvesting of prisoners who leave earth voluntarily or not is good enough for the Chi-Coms. Why not here? Just good government. Sarcasm is heavy with this one.
They need to feed some of those inmates better.

The bodies were returned with the missing organs. That would mean they weren’t missing. If they were in a sack then I would guess it was the guy’s heart, liver and gizzard.
You owe me a new keyboard lol!
Ohhhh, that's funny!

If any family should be able to connect the dots, it would be this one.
You would think that with all of the unaccompanied children coming across the border, they wouldn’t need to have to grab any organs from an American with any connections or family.
Is there some kind of implied organ donor law there?
Abby...someone.
it was just done to lighten the transportation load- /s
