RIP GARLAND JOHNSON III (January 12, 1980 – March 26, 2024)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 3:22 a.m.
The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling on June 4.
We’re labeling this record as anomalous for the time being because SUDEP is considered a natural death and not an accident. It would be an accident if it were an unintentional drug overdose, and so far the notoriously incompetent government employees have not yet published a Cause B pertaining to any drugs.
The decedent had a rap sheet and was arrested by LAPD in January for threats of violence.
He was found lifeless inside his cell at MCJ.
Address: 441 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
This is the seventh in-custody death for LASD so far this year.
