Tenure Summary

What happened on their watch

Warden, Rogers State Prison (2022‑2023)

On April 7, 2022, Timothy Brent Jenkins, 22, collapsed in his cell and died in the prison infirmary. The GBI autopsy determined the cause was “methamphetamine use complicating bronchial asthma,” and the manner was accident. Jenkins had a known history of asthma and was housed in general population; the autopsy found hyperinflated lungs and birefringent foreign material in his airways, per the DOFS report.

Two weeks later, on April 22, 2022, Caleb Sexton, 21, was found unresponsive in a shower early in the morning and pronounced dead at 5:40 a.m. The GBI autopsy ruled the death an accident caused by “toxic effects of methamphetamine.” A source conflict exists between the GBI medical‑legal record and the GDC’s official mortality report, which listed the date as April 24, 2022; GPS records follow the primary medical‑legal document.

On March 21, 2023, Bradley Lyle Weitzel, 40, died. The GBI reviewed the case but declined to perform an autopsy, stating an examination was “not necessary.” As a result, the cause of death remains permanently undetermined — a documented instance, GPS notes, of the no‑examination pathway that contributes to a pattern of undetermined causes statewide. The death was referred by the Tattnall County coroner and involved DOC Internal Affairs and Criminal Investigations.

On August 15, 2023, William Joseph Smiley, 41, experienced shortness of breath and was taken to a hospital, where he died. The GBI autopsy found “toxic effects of methamphetamine complicating asthma” and ruled the manner accident. The presence of methamphetamine inside the prison is noted in the record as a contraband‑supply data point.

On December 6, 2023, Randall Henry Baker, 38, collapsed while sitting on his bunk. The GBI autopsy concluded he died of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with near‑total occlusion of his left anterior descending coronary artery, and listed the manner as natural. GPS records observe that a near‑total LAD occlusion at age 38 raises medical‑monitoring and care questions at the facility.

These five deaths together include two ruled accidental due to methamphetamine, one natural at a young age, one undetermined because no autopsy was conducted, and one accidental asthma‑related death involving methamphetamine use. All occurred while Page held the top administrative role at Rogers.
