A jail inmate is dead and police say he died by swallowing drug-soaked
underpants.
Corey McQueary, 33, died at Jessamine County Jail on August 21.
According to Kentucky State Police, another inmate, 55-year-old Michael
Jones, soaked a pair of his underpants in liquid methadone while he was
out on temporary leave.
He allegedly wore them back to the jail where he's accused of tearing them up
and sharing the pieces with his cell mates, including McQueary.
After ingesting the piece of drug-laced underwear, McQueary complained
to the jail staff that he felt ill, but did not tell them he'd eaten the
underpants.
He was checked out by a doctor, and was found dead early the next morning. Jailers said the methadone-soaked underwear is something that would be nearly impossible to catch. "Contraband is a constant problem at any facility across the state.
"You can do everything that you can do, you know strip searches, not allowed to bring anything such as books or any other paraphernalia into the facility," said Jon Sallee, Jessamine County Jailer. Jones has now been charged with McQueary's murder.
