The family of Lashawn Thompson, who died in September while incarcerated at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, has reached a $4 million settlement with the county, said Preston Thompson, chief of staff for Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett.

Lashawn Thompson, who died inside a Georgia county jail last year, had been living in conditions akin to a "torture chamber" before ultimately dying of complications stemming from severe neglect to his mental and physical health, according to the man's family attorneys and an independent medical review.
