44 year old? Gyat damn! Drugs really fuck you up.
An unhealthy lifestyle often leads to an early death.
Another one at bcmc. So sad.
When is it going to stop. No one in custody should lose their life.
Several have been female..
The quality care of persons in custody at this location should be investigated.
