When an ambulance came to the jail at 3:30 pm, officers advised EMS workers that Ta’Neasha condition was not an emergency. She died two hours later.
An autopsy of Ta’Neasha identified toxicity (poisoning) as the cause of death. Investigating officers did little to find the source of the poisoning. Even when they were given a drink bottle suspected of containing toxic substances, which investigators that noted to appear to be off-color, the investigators did not test it. When an inmate reported who poisoned Ta’Neasha and how it was done, little follow up was done.
