The son of retired Southern California columnist David Whiting choked after stuffing orange peels down his throat while on suicide watch.
The Orange County district attorney’s office has concluded that jail personnel were not negligent in the suicide of former Southern California News Group columnist David Whiting’s adult son.
“They literally gave him the gun and gave him the bullets and then were surprised when he killed himself,” said attorney Annee Della Donna, arguing deputies should have routinely confiscated Sean Whiting’s trash. Less than two hours before Sean Whiting’s death, an Orange County Superior Court judge ordered him released from jail.
Footage from the videos show deputies and jail workers checked on Whiting every 30 minutes and administered prescribed medication, according to the report. The video also captures Whiting stuffing food down his throat, but deputies did not respond until he pounded on the glass wall in distress.Two men have died in Santa Clara County jail so far this month
