“Photos of Wounds to Wilson Jr’s Head…”: Family Alleges Foul Play in Mental Health Facility, Weeks After Death of Ex-NFL Player

The Los Angeles County authorities have landed in hot water. The family of an ex-NFL player has alleged foul play in a mental health facility. This comes weeks after the death of the player in the same facility. They have also brought in legal claims against the law enforcement in the case.

Ex Detroit Lions cornerback Stanley Wilson Jr died in a Los Angeles facility last month and his family has many questions regarding the circumstances leading up to his death.

Family of Stanley Wilson Jr alleges foul play

The family of Stanley Wilson Jr has alleged foul play in his sudden death last month. They have accused the Los Angeles County law enforcement of beating the former NFL cornerback after his transfer from county jail. Wilson died in the Metropolitan State Hospital on February 1. He was 40.

The family lawyer John Carpenter alleged that the photos of the body show that the law enforcement officers used excessive force. He also accused them of restraining Wilson before stomping on his head.

“Photos of wounds to Wilson Jr.’s head appear to show he was either kicked or stomped while images of ligature marks on his wrist appear to indicate he was restrained during the alleged attack,” Carpenter said, according to a report by New York Post.

The family is reportedly seeking $45 million in damages from the county. According to Carpenter, the county has misrepresented the circumstances leading to Wilson’s death. He was in the county jail after the police arrested him last year in a vandalism case.

The Stanley story

Stanley Wilson Jr was a third-round pick for the Detroit Lions in 2005. He played in the motor city for two full seasons, but an injury cut his career short. He suffered a torn MCL in 2008 in a preseason game against the New York Giants.

Since his departure from the NFL, Wilson has continuously run into trouble with authorities. Police arrested him in 2016 in home invasion cases. Even last year, the police arrested him for raiding a house in Hollywood Hills.

The court determined that he wasn’t fit to stand trial and transferred him to the mental health facility.  And that is where he died on February 1. His mother said the authorities told her that her son had collapsed and died suddenly. She wants to know what circumstances led to his death. Will she ever get answers to her questions?
