Dayton, OH, October 29, 2026 —
A lawsuit claims that a Black man died in custody in Dayton after pleading with police to take him to a hospital. The account in the lawsuit says he told officers he was “not ready to die yet.”
The summary of the lawsuit does not identify the man, provide the date or specific location, or describe the circumstances that led to his custody. It also does not say what medical condition or symptoms he may have had, whether he received medical attention, or how long passed between his request for hospital care and his death.
The allegations are presented as claims in a lawsuit; the information provided does not include a response from police or other defendants, or any findings by a court. It does not specify where or when the lawsuit was filed, what legal claims it makes, or what outcome the plaintiff is seeking.
The phrase attributed to the man—“not ready to die yet”—is the only direct statement included in the available account. No further details are provided about who heard the plea or how it was documented. The information also does not identify the man’s family or legal representatives.
As a result, key details about the events and the legal case remain unavailable in the account. The allegation that the man sought hospital care before dying in custody is the central claim, but the information provided is not sufficient to establish the sequence of events or determine responsibility. Further details about the lawsuit and any responses or court proceedings were not provided.
