Two men have died in custody at the Fairfax County jail in the last two days, according to reports from the county sheriff and the police department, which is investigating the deaths.

On Tuesday morning, a sheriff’s deputy found George Redmond, 65, unresponsive in his single cell and called for medical help. Redmond was taken to a hospital by first responders, and hospital staff pronounced him dead, according to separate press releases from the sheriff’s office and the police department. “Preliminarily, there were no signs of foul play,” the police statement said.

Redmond was arrested after he failed to appear in court after being accused of trespassing and destruction of property. He had been held in the jail since March 25.

Another in-custody death occurred the following day, when a deputy discovered Kyung Pil Chang unresponsive in his single cell and called medical staff. Chang, 55, was declared dead by first responders just before 5 p.m., per information from the Fairfax sheriff’s office and police department. The medical examiner performed an autopsy, the results of which were not available. Police said there were no initial “signs of foul play.”

According to the police, Chang was charged with aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, and practicing as an unlicensed masseuse last week, after allegedly assaulting a woman at an Annandale clinic in January. He had recently turned himself in to custody.

Prior to this week, the most recently reported death in the Fairfax detention center was in April 2021. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said a total of 11 people have died in custody in the jail in the last five years, including Redmond and Chang.

In neighboring Arlington, the local NAACP chapter has called for a federal investigation into a pattern of jail deaths stretching back several years, and the county is facing a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit alleging negligent medical care of one of the people who died in custody.
