Man who died at Dauphin County Prison had hypothermia in 62-degree cell: DA

Jenna Wise | jwise@pennlive.comIt was the go-to spot for neighborhood kids to catch up with friends in their “posse” or compete in rap battles.

The coroner’s office told Crawford that his son suffered from hypothermia before dying, according to Crawford.District Attorney Fran Chardo confirmed Crummel had hypothermia but said county investigators do not believe that is what caused his death. The temperature in his cell was 62 degrees, Chardo said.

Crummel struggled with mental health issues throughout his adult life, according to friends and family. By the time he was 23, he’d been hit by a car and Tased 7–8 times by police, his family said. But he never let illness wipe the bright smile off his face. “That’s the kind of person he was. He always would treat people with respect,” Crawford said, his voice cracking. “He was my son and I love him a lot.”

Crummel’s friends described him as a devout Muslim who had dreams of giving back and preaching to his church. He also wanted to help Harrisburg’s youth and keep them out of the streets.But mental illness kept getting in the way. Crawford said medication did not help Crummel, and since he was an adult, it was difficult trying to force him into any kind of program.
