According to autopsy findings, the pump was likely beeping nonstop for nearly 24 hours, alerting Bach, who had Type 1 diabetes, that it had run out of insulin.
...the response by San Diego County sheriff's deputies to Bach's health emergency was so severely lacking that the Medical Examiner's Office took the unusual step of ruling his death a homicide.
This occurred despite medical records containing documentation of his medical condition, insulin requirements, and multiple unanswered requests for insulin by Mr. Bach and fellow inmates.
Advocates and correctional health experts were aghast at the finding, stating that Sheriff Kelly A. Martinez needs to do more to protect the people in her custody.
