Twenty-three-year-old Brandy Edwardsen was discovered unresponsive in her Muskogee County Jail cell in Oklahoma just after midnight on Saturday, March 24, 2018. She was quickly transported to a nearby hospital, where she died a short time later on the same day. No further details have been released other than the fact that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) is investigating the custodial death. An autopsy has been requested, according to the OSBI. It will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office at the conclusion of the investigation.
Just a few days ago, on March 19, Wesley Wayne Pebworth was booked into Seminole County Jail, located in Wewoka, Oklahoma, and was discovered dead less than 24 hours later. According to Seminole County Sheriff Shannon Smith, it appeared that he committed suicide, but the autopsy is still pending.
Eight days prior to that custodial death in Oklahoma, another occurred on March 11. Jafar Albumohammed, age 19, was booked the day before he was found dead at Woodward County Jail in Woodward. His cause of death is unknown.
Back on January 16, 2018, another prisoner in Oklahoma died shortly after being incarcerated. Marconia Kessee, an African American, was booked into Cleveland County Jail, located in Norman. Hours later, he was found unresponsive in his cell. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.
All of these custodial deaths are being investigated by the OSBI.
