Jeanne Wood, the mother of Gayle Halee Gieger, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Southern Health Partners, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. The case arises from the suicide of her daughter, Halee, who was found dead in Tift County Jail on February 2, 2025. The lawsuit alleges negligence by Southern Health Partners, which provided medical services at the jail and failed to meet the standard of care required for inmates with mental health issues. The complaint details Halee’s history of mental illness and inadequate medical attention leading up to her death. Wood seeks damages for the full value of her daughter’s life.
