‘Feels like needles and knifes’: Inmate slowly died from perforated ulcer while staff ignored his cries and blamed drug withdrawal, lawsuit says

The daughter of a Minnesota man who died in custody from a perforated ulcer has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, alleging jailers and a nurse contractor blamed drug withdrawals and ignored the man’s pleas for help.

Melvin Tyrone Bush, 59, was a detainee at the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center in Rochester, Minnesota. He died on March 5, 2023, from acute complications of a perforated duodenal ulcer — a serious medical condition that required prompt and appropriate care, according to the lawsuit filed by his daughter, Areryana Bush.
