Family wins millions over dad's OD in SoCal jail

A federal jury found Riverside County partially responsible for the death of Richard Matus Jr., who died of a fentanyl overdose in a county jail while awaiting trial. Matus, one of numerous inmates who overdosed during a fentanyl epidemic, died after his cellmate reported a medical emergency that was inadequately addressed. The family was awarded around $5.4 million in damages from a total of $13.5 million, with the court determining the county was 40% responsible for his death.
