The mother of a Nevada prisoner who died in custody has filed a wrongful death lawsuit calling into question the coroner's narrative that her son died of heart problems
The mother of a Nevada inmate who died days after he was beaten by corrections officers is suing prison officials and the coroner's office in Las Vegas, accusing them of covering up her son's death.
According to the lawsuit and an unredacted copy of his autopsy obtained by The Associated Press, Walker was experiencing extreme paranoia and had been struggling with losing his train of thought when he was transferred to nearby High Desert State Prison, a mixed-security facility. It wasn't long before Walker was “brutally assaulted with batons and sprayed with pepper spray,” causing him to lose consciousness, the lawsuit stated.
