Five Deaths at Michigan Prison Spark Outcry | Detroit News

from Detroit News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Another inmate dies at Michigan’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility, bringing the total to five since mid-May — including 69-year-old Dasie Forbes, on palliative care for chronic illness. Authorities say her death was expected, no internal probe planned. Forbes was serving time for 2021 manslaughter. Outcry grows as lawmakers demand the DOC director resign, citing a troubling pattern. Autopsies confirm causes for some deaths, but others remain unexplained. Prison officials deny a mold crisis, citing clean air tests — but questions linger.
