AUTOPSY: ALABAMA WOMAN DIED IN JAIL AFTER DRUG OVERDOSE

BESSEMER - An autopsy has found that an 18-year-old Brighton woman
died in the Bessemer City Jail after a drug overdose.

Sheneque Proctor was found dead Nov. 2, less than 24 hours after being
arrested on disorderly conduct and other charges after a disturbance
at a Bessemer motel.

Authorities have said that Proctor struggled with police during the
arrest, and that officers used pepper spray on her.

Al.com reports that the Jefferson County Coroner's Office found that
the cause of her death was complications of overdosing on a
combination of drugs.

The autopsy states that tests found cocaine, methadone and alprazolam
in her system. Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic
disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

The coroner's report lists the manner of death as accidental.
