Colin Kaepernick is paying for the autopsy of an inmate whose family believes was eaten alive by bed bugs.

Colin Kaepernick is taking positive action to help the family of LaShawn Thompson find closure to the mystery surrounding his death. The former NFL quarterback has offered to pay for a second independent autopsy that could help answer the family's questions. This comes after the family believes Thompson died due to the unsanitary conditions in his Fulton County jail cell and an autopsy report came back with an "undetermined" cause. Kaepernick was disturbed by the conditions Thompson and other inmates were enduring, and contacted civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump to assist the family.



Photos of the cell show it was filthy and covered in bed bugs, and medical records indicated that detention officers and medical staff at the jail noticed Thompson's health declining but did nothing to help him. The family is now demanding a criminal investigation and closure of the jail.



Kaepernick's involvement in Thompson's second autopsy is part of an initiative he launched in February 2022, to offer autopsies in police-related deaths. His actions show his commitment to advocating for justice and accountability, and hopefully will help the Thompson family find the answers they need.
