WA: inmate deaths in King County

The Seattle Weekly reports on "inconsistency or uncertainty regarding reported deaths of King County Jail prisoners," including

Two King County Jail inmates (who) died this year from suicides that could have been prevented,...another county inmate who, after just a few days in the downtown jail last year, suddenly died from a rare flesh-eating disease. And the death of a mentally ill prisoner found with a wad of gauze stuck in his throat last year was later ruled a death by natural causes.
