On June 30, 2006, C.O. Jared Popiel was on duty when inmate DiCamillo experienced multiple falls and exhibited signs of medical distress. C.O. Popiel assisted DiCamillo after a fall at 7:20 a.m. and noted his complaints about swollen ankles. Despite these incidents, DiCamillo did not receive adequate medical attention and was later found unresponsive, leading to his death. A lawsuit was filed alleging negligence by the Herkimer County Sheriff’s Office staff, including C.O. Popiel, for failing to provide proper medical care. The court proceedings highlighted lapses in monitoring and responding to DiCamillo’s deteriorating condition. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/gabriel-v-cnty-of-herkimer?utm_source=openai))
