Dead Oklahoma inmate was suing over ‘Baby Shark’ claim

An Oklahoma County inmate found dead in his jail cell over the weekend was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the county alleging that in 2019, he and other inmates were tortured by jail employees who forced them to repeatedly listen to the children’s song “Baby Shark” for hours. The AP reported.

John Basco, 48, was found unresponsive in his cell early Sunday morning, Oklahoma County Detention Center officials said in a news release. He was pronounced dead after jail workers began lifesaving efforts, they said. Basco’s death is the 14th this year at the jail, which has faced criticism over inmate deaths, escapes and other incidents. The AP reported.

According to jail officials, Basco was arrested on drug trafficking charges as well as carrying or possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The Hill reported.

District Attorney David Prater says he’s waiting for more information before commenting on Basco’s death. The Hill reported.

On June 28, Oklahoma County voters approved a $260 million bond package to construct a new jail, which elected officials and jail trustees hope will serve as a solution to problems that have persisted at the facility. The Oklahoman reported.
