Family Of Inmate Who Died In Custody Wants Answers
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reports that they are investigating the Wednes- day death of an inmate.
Troy Zimmerman, 25, was booked into the Falkenburg Road Jail on August 16, 2014, and was serving a 364-day sen- tence on burglary charges.
On Wednesday at 4 a. m., jail officials said Zimmerman got up for breakfast and had coffee as he interacted with other in- mates. He then went back to bed to sleep where inmates said he was heard snoring and then gasping. The inmates checked on him and alerted deputies who immediately alerted the medical staff.
Paramedics arrived and transported Zimmerman to a local hospital. At 2:45 p. m., he was pronounced dead, and the cause won’t be determined until an autopsy has been completed.
Troy’s mother, Willistine Zimmerman, received a call that her son was being trans- ported to the hospital and she,

along with his aunt and uncle, Michael and Jeanette Davis went to the hospital. According to Michael Davis, Troy’s mother was allowed to see him when he first arrived.
“After she went in to check on him, we were all told to go downstairs and sit in the wait- ing room. There was a waiting room on the same floor where he was being treated, but they wouldn’t let us sit there. We weren’t told he had died until an hour later, and when we asked what happened, they gave us no answers at all.”
Sheriff’s Office spokesper- son, Debbie Carter, said Willistine Zimmerman was with Troy when he passed, but Davis said that’s not true.
“We were all downstairs and we didn’t’ know a thing. Right now, we’re looking for answers.
His mother spoke to him Tuesday, and he was fine. The only medical problem he had was asthma.
As the family awaits the re- sults of the autopsy to find out what happened, Davis said they are trying to arrange ser- vices for him. “Troy didn’t have any insurance, so we will be needing all the help we can get. We haven’t contacted a funeral home yet, because they haven’t released his body.”
Troy Zimmerman was the second of three children of Willistine Zimmerman, and the father of five children.
More information will be re- leased later by the family after they’ve finished their inquiries into what happened.
IN MEMORIAM
A year has passed, yet it seems like the laughter, good times and happiness we shared was only yesterday.
You were a strong, resilient man of great character, a good father, grandfather, brother, friend and mentor.
You were a very important part of all of our lives. Your passing has left a void that can only be filled when we meet with you again in heaven.
We miss you. The Tucker and Fleming families.
