   A Michigan prisoner died from coronavirus just weeks before his   
   parole.   
      
   Sentenced as a juvenile, William Garrison served nearly 44 years   
   of his sentence before succumbing to the virus. Garrison’s   
   bunkmate found him struggling to breathe on Monday night in   
   their two-man cell at Macomb Correctional Facility.'   
      
   Garrison was charged with life in prison after a 1976 home   
   invasion resulted in Garrison shooting and killing a man at the   
   age of 16. His sentence was cut in half in January, and he was   
   offered the choice of an immediate release on parole or release   
   without parole in September.   
      
   Garrison chose the latter.   
      
   Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz issued   
   a statement to the Detroit Free Press regarding Garrison’s death.   
      
   MOST EXTREME MEASURES DURING CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN, STATE BY STATE   
      
   Gautz claimed the prison staff went cell to cell to assess   
   prisoners in the days before Garrison died, and Garrison’s   
   bunkmate claimed he did not suffer from any COVID-19 symptoms   
   besides a cough.   
      
   But Garrison’s sister, who was preparing for him to live with   
   her following his release in early May, disputes their accounts   
   of events.   
      
   “My brother shouldn’t have died in there like that,” Yolanda   
   Peterson told the Detroit Free Press. “He was trying to get   
   free.”   
      
   CORONAVIRUS STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS: WHAT STATES HAVE ISSUED   
   DIRECTIVES SO FAR   
      
   Garrison had appealed for an early release to avoid the COVID-19   
   outbreak at Macomb. Gautz claimed a post-mortem autopsy   
   confirmed Garrison had coronavirus, while a test confirmed that   
   Garrison’s bunkmate was negative.   
      
   Gautz called the situation “unfortunate all the way around,”   
   noting that Garrison could have paroled earlier this year.   
      
   As of Sunday, Michigan has seen at least 30,791 confirmed   
   coronavirus cases and 2,308 deaths. Michigan has recently seen a   
   drop in new cases, falling from the third-most infected state to   
   the fifth-most over the past few days.
