Lawsuit Filed Against Hospital and Kleberg County for Jail Death

A lawsuit has been filed against Christus Spohn Hospital Kleberg and Kleberg County following the 2022 death of 32-year-old Cynthia Garcia, who died shortly after being taken into custody by the Kleberg County Sheriff’s Office. Her family alleges that both the hospital and jail failed to provide appropriate medical and mental health care, despite clear signs of crisis. Video evidence from body cameras and jail surveillance has raised serious questions about how Garcia was treated in the hours leading up to her death.
