Prison Autopsy Reveals Brutal Details | Denver News

A chilling new autopsy report reveals the brutal details of a deadly prison incident at Bent County Correctional Facility: 27-year-old Charles Gates was suffocated, suffered 25 superficial puncture wounds to his face, lost an eye, and was found in a blood-soaked plastic crate with shoes and papers. He died alongside 59-year-old Michael Fisher, who was serving life for a 1996 homicide, while a third inmate was seriously injured. Gates had meth and synthetic cannabinoids in his system—and an orange lodged between his teeth. The investigation remains murky, with officials withholding timelines on how and when bodies were discovered, and raising alarms over delayed medical care for the survivor. Questions about prison safety and accountability are mounting as Fisher’s autopsy is still pending. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
