My friends exhusband was brought down to the visit by the guards carring hi down. He had a fever of 102 and rising....his visin was alll blurry and everything. He asked to seek medical and they keeped refusing to take him in or help him later that night ..... the witnesses who his is incarserated with stated that they took in out of his room and they sat him outside his door and watched him tell them there was something wrong he was having chest pains...The guards watched his heart blow up right there in frint of them and did nothing to help...What can she do now legally?

Get an attorney asap! Attorney would get medical records and autopsy results and take it from there.

Which prison was this at? You might need to sue in the name of next of kin, like his children if he has any, since your friend is an ex wife.
Very sad to hear this.
