Third time this has been discovered in Hinds county over the past few months

NBC News has previously documented how Dexter Wade, who lived in Jackson, was struck and killed by a police car and buried in a pauper’s grave this year without anyone telling his mother, who had reported him missing. In another case, the family of Marrio Moore, who was beaten to death in Jackson and buried at the same county cemetery, went eight months without knowing what happened.

Jonathan was buried in a nearby plot at the Hinds County penal farm on Sept. 14, 2022.

      I know friends in places like that. I’m going to end up in a place like that. We didn’t, and don’t, have family.

      I can’t say anything about where any of us will end up for sure, but I think it’s safe to say you’ll be missed here whenever you log off for the last time.

      I don’t think anybody deserves to be completely forgotten like this, but I think things are also not entirely grim as they seem. Things we do in life resonate in ways we never see, someone might be gone and forgotten but the things they said and did will have ripple effects for forever.

      Like your namesake character said, “nothing is ever truly gone, now let’s do these mushrooms” (I think that’s how it went, been a while since I’ve seen Discovery)

        I will definitely miss @Stamets whenever he logs off Lemmy for the last time. He’s definitely one of my favorite people here. And he contributes so much too. And he’s a very nice person to boot. We should all cherish him for as long as he decides to be here.

          I love being part of a community small enough for people to have their own online identity. I recognize a lot of the prolific posters here such as yourself and @Stamets.

      This shouldn’t even be a decision in the cops’ arena. They should’ve called an ambulance, transported them to a hospital, and a medical doctor should’ve declared death. At that point, it’s a John Doe in the morgue.

      Can someone clarify standard procedures from there?
