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 centers on the alleged negligence of Southern Health Partners, which was responsible for providing medical care at Tift County Jail where Gieger, a mentally ill inmate, committed suicide. The lawsuit claims that Southern Health Partners failed to provide adequate mental health care and supervision, leading to Gieger’s death by strangulation with ankle shackles. Wood seeks damages for the full value of her daughter’s life.
