TL;DR Summary

Colin Kaepernick will pay for the autopsy of Lashawn Thompson, who died in an insect-infested jail cell in Georgia. Thompson's family says he was eaten alive by bed bugs. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's report said Thompson had an "extremely severe" infestation of small insects across his body but that his cause of death was undetermined. A second, independent autopsy, being paid for by Kaepernick, is underway and the results are expected within a few weeks. Kaepernick last year announced an initiative to pay for second autopsies for family members of anyone whose death is "police-related."
