On July 13, three days after she was arrested following a routine traffic violation, police found Sandra Bland dead in her Waller County, Texas, jail cell. According to surveillance video, a guard saw her alive at 7 a.m. that morning, and she spoke to jail staff an hour later about making a phone call. At 9 a.m., however, guards found her in a “semi-standing position” hanging from a metal-shaped hook, with a plastic trash can liner around her neck. Authorities say it was a suicide.
