tody at the Tarrant County jail and was taken to JPS Hospital this week.

He was placed on life support and died after being released from custody on a personal recognizance bond, Simmons said.

What they're saying:

Simmons is calling for an investigation into Greer's death, as well as the deaths of the other two men.

 Happy Juneteenth. Or is it?  she posted on Facebook.  Today, as our nation commemorates the delayed arrival of freedom and justice to enslaved people in Texas, I will begin this Juneteenth holiday with a news conference addressing the THIRD jail death in just FOUR days at the Tarrant County Jail. 







The other side:

 Many individuals entering our facility arrive with significant, long‑term health issues related to substance abuse or other medical conditions. Our staff works diligently to identify medical and mental health concerns through our screening process the moment someone comes into our custody. However, even with these efforts, we cannot compel individuals to follow the medical guidance provided by the doctors and nurses from John Peter Smith Hospital. We remain committed to offering appropriate care and ensuring every person in our custody is treated with professionalism and dignity,  the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office said.

The sheriff's office has not yet commented on Greer's injury or death.

What's next:

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office will work to identify all three men and determine the exact causes of their deaths.

The two in-custody incidents will be reviewed by multiple agencies, which is standard after a jail death.
