My brother was 19 when he hung himself while in a holding cell for DUI chrages. We were all surprised at his death, but now, 6 months later, people are starting to ask me if he was murdered. I dont know if people dont want to admit that he commited suicide, or of I really should be looking into this. I dont know if you could sue that jail, and if I did, what kind of chance would I have at winning? Would it be a waste of time draging up horrible memories, or is it worth it to maybe save a life down the road? My mom was the last to talk to him, when he got his "one phone call." She said he sounded fine, but 20 minutes later he hung himself. In the news papers following my brothers death, the jailers on duty that night said they had "no comment" on why my brother wasn't being checked on every ten minutes like they are apparantly supposed to do. Something sounds fishy, and I know no amount of money can bring my brother back, but a little justice would be nice. Can anyone help?
