A private autopsy found Lashawn Thompson was not treated for his schizophrenia, suffered from insect infestation and malnutrition weeks before his death.

A private autopsy conducted in the case of Lashawn Thompson, who died in Georgia's Fulton County Jail last year, found that weeks of neglect caused his death.

"I want to go on record: This is the most deplorable death and custody case in history," Crump said Monday.in April that his brother was in jail custody from June to September on a battery charge. He says his brother was unrecognizable in the photos he saw following Thompson's death.The independent autopsy report included a review of Thompson's in-custody medical records, the county medical examiner's autopsy, and the jail incident report.

But then there is a"significant gap" between a check-in on July 27 and Sept. 8, 2022," according to Mitchell's report. Thompson weighed 148 pounds at the time of his death with matted hair, dirt under her nails and at the bottom of his feet, and"severe body insect infestation," the report said. The Fulton County Medical Examiner said Thompson's cause of death was"undetermined" but did note a severe bedbug infestation, WXIA reported at the time. The medical examiner's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News on the independent findings Monday.

"A lot needs to happen. We need to build a new facility," Labat said."I've been screaming this ... since before I was elected. We need a new way of thinking."
