Wrongful death lawsuit filed against Sheriff!
CHICAGO (STMW) - A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Wednesday claiming that a Cook County Jail inmate died because he did not receive medical attention last year.
Lennetha Wilson-Hewitt, the estate administrator of Kareem Wilson, filed the suit Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court.
The suit claims Wilson was an inmate at Cook County Jail, the morning of April 14, 2011, when he began suffering from nausea, rapid heart rate and profuse sweating.
Wilson repeatedly asked Cook County correctional officers for medical attention but did not receive any until other inmates began yelling and beating on the doors for help in the afternoon, the suit said.
