The state will pay one-million dollars to the family of a man who died of a heart attack while being held in the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility six years ago. Jailers knew 34-year-old Jeremy Cunningham had a heart condition, but a guard dismissed an emergency contact from his cellmate when he reported Cunningham was having a seizure. The guard said Cunningham was just snoring and hung up on the emergency call. The inmate was found dead in his cell two hours later. A wrongful death suit was filed in December 2016.
