A mentally ill man allegedly froze to death at an Alabama prison after being kept naked in a concrete cell.
CCTV stills allegedly show Anthony Mitchell being held naked in a concrete-floored isolation cell
The lawsuit states that an emergency room doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Mitchell wrote: ‘I do believe hypothermia was the ultimate cause of his death.’ ‘It is clear that Tony’s death was wrongful, the result of horrific, malicious abuse and mountains of deliberate indifference,’ Jon C. Goldfarb, a lawyer representing the family, wrote in the lawsuit.
The sheriff’s office, following routine procedures, contacted the State Bureau of Investigation after Mitchell’s death to ask for the investigation, according to a statement from Jackson, Fikes & Brakefield. It states that a doctor wrote in emergency room notes that Mitchell was ‘unresponsive apneic and pulseless and cold to the touch’ when he arrived.
