The letter explains that while Jones was incarcerated, she developed a rash and fever. As a result, she was first admitted to the jail’s infirmary, where she was under care from around April 28 through early May. Jones was later brought to Mount Sinai and Weill-Cornell Burn Center, where she eventually went into a coma and died this month. Hospital records suggest Jones had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, amoxicillin, the Legal Aid Society said.
