Death raises new questions about care at Muskegon County Jail

MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — The death of a mother of three who had been locked up on a probation violation is raising new questions about medical care at the Muskegon County Jail.

Tiffany Davis, 39, of Muskegon, who had worked as a phlebotomist, was unresponsive and suffering multiple brain hemorrhages when she was taken from the jail to the hospital in February, her doctor told Target 8. She died on Feb. 21 at Mercy Health Hackley Campus.

Dr. Christopher Marquart, a neurosurgeon who worked on the case, said doctors might have been able to save Davis had the jail dropped her off sooner.

“She was in bad shape,” Marquart said. “A day or two earlier might have made a difference. That’s the $64,000 question.”
