That is NOT what the ME said, OP.

Her death was ruled a homicide.  And, there is this....“indicating the death was caused by the actions of another individual” and should not be interpreted as a declaration of criminal guilt, the office said in a statement.

Where was her family?  They seem to be quite interested now so they can file a lawsuit.  Where were they when she was arrested and yelling at imaginary people and suffering from mental challenges?  Why was nobody supervising her?  
How long was she at the bus stop?  Did nobody see her there?  [/quote]

Death caused by the actions of another person means someone is killed by that other person. Doesn't mean that person is necessarily criminally culpable. It's literally the definition of homicide.

However, when a person is taken into custody, law enforcement thereby has what is known legally as a "special relationship" with them and has a duty to protect. As for supervision, ICE and jails do not arrange discharge plans when they let people go. She had psych evals so presumably if she qualified for inpatient admission she would have been sent to whatever facility they use for mentally impaired people in legal custody (typically a state hospital--they DO still exist, they just don't house people en masse as in the past). And once her state proceedings were dismissed, whatever public defender she had would no longer be representing her.

As for her family, Once ICE is involved people have a very hard time locating people who have been taken into custody. And ICE transported her 25 miles from where she was jailed.

As for people seeing her at the bus stop, if you passed a woman shivering at a bus stop, would you stop to see if she was all right?
