The Sheriff has determined the body found in the San Joaquin river near the Jail is Mr. Lum. His family questions method of “release” from jail and the reason for the arrest and imprisonment.
I thought this issue was settled decades ago. After the massive education campaigns (I remember them from the 1980’s and on) you’d think there wouldn’t be a single department or sheriff’s deputy who wouldn’t be aware that medical and mental conditions can mimic intoxication.
The Record report adds the detail that Mr. Lum appears to have died from drowning and that the jailers were aware of his mental condition.
