On February 13, 2024, Cameron Ryan Paquette, 43, collapsed backward onto concrete while working on a GDC detail at the Ben Park / Bill Morris Park complex in Long County. According to the Long County Coroner’s death-investigation report (case 91-010-24) and the GBI Coastal Lab autopsy (GBI case 2024-6000957), the cause of death was hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; the manner was ruled natural. The supervising officer, C/O Dallas Dick, last saw Paquette alive at 0555 hours. CPR was initiated by the officer and another incarcerated person, and Wayne EMS transported him to Wayne Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced at 0945 hours.
