The Tyler Perry family is questioning the circumstances around the death of 26-year-old Gavin Porter, a family member, who reportedly and suspiciously died by suicide in his prison cell.
Earlier this week, Porter is said to have hung himself with a bedsheet in his St. Helena Parish, LA cell, while in solitary confinement, but the family reportedly isn’t convinced it was that simple.
Subsequent to a fight with another inmate over the weekend, Porter was sent to solitary confinement. When guards went to check on him around 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday (Feb. 25), he was fine, but during a check at 8:00 p.m., they found him dead, claiming there wasn’t any “foul play.” But, the family doesn’t believe that’s the case.
