Lorenzo Trapp Died from Severe Dehydration in Charleston County Jail
On July 3, 2024, 62-year-old Lorenzo Trapp died in Charleston County Jail, aka Al Cannon Detention Center, in Charleston County, South Carolina. An investigative report found that he died from severe dehydration in the context of a schizoaffective disorder. The most recent report about this March 18, 2025, story revealed that he allegedly had not been monitored or checked for hours before his death.
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office asked the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) to investigate Mr. Trapp’s death, and that full report was obtained by the news station that published the resource for this post. Most notably, for hours before Mr. Trapp was discovered unresponsive, no observation checks were made. The report includes the following details:
- On July 3 at approximately 6:20 p.m., a deputy noticed that Mr. Trapp hadn’t touched his meal for lunchtime. The deputy summoned him to dinner, but Mr. Trapp didn’t answer.
- A deputy went into Mr. Trapp’s cell. His eyes and mouth were wide open, and he showed no movement. The deputy reported that Mr. Trapp was past help.
- Paramedics, when they arrived, observed that Mr. Trapp had no pulse, he was not breathing, and his body was covered with a blanket.
- A lieutenant at the jail said that the deputy assigned to the mental health unit, where Mr. Trapp was housed, was crying about the situation. She said she hadn’t finished her rounds that day, and she felt bad about it.
- Her last contact with Mr. Trapp, the deputy stated, was about 1 p.m., when she said he acknowledged her with a wave.
- It is policy at Al Cannon Detention Center to perform inmate checks every hour and log them on an electronic scanner. The deputy stated that the electronic scanner she used on her shift was malfunctioning.
- The deputy admitted that she had not completed all of her hourly inmate checks. The last inmate counts and security checks she documented were at 6:55 a.m.
- The toxicology report for Mr. Trapp was completed on July 6, 2024, revealing the aforementioned cause of death.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the definition of a “schizoaffective disorder” is a mental health condition including symptoms of schizophrenia and a mood disorder.
Because Mr. Trapp’s manner of death was ruled as a medical issue, the final report from SLED found the death investigation was closed.
The deputy who expressed that she felt guilty for failing to complete her rounds resigned from the detention center 20 days after Mr. Trapp’s death. She is possibly still employed with the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.
The address of Al Cannon Detention Center is 3841 Leeds Ave, North Charleston, SC 29405. The North Charleston jail has a maximum bed capacity of 1,917.
