Around 7:40 p.m. that evening, a guard was conducting checks in the medical dorm used to house inmates on suicide watch when he noticed Seaman lying face down and not moving, records show.
Authorities said the corrections officer asked another inmate to lift Seaman’s arm and when he did, that exposed the fact that there was a pool of blood under Seaman’s head.
Seaman, who was unconscious, was taken to an area hospital to be treated for swelling and bleeding in his brain as well as a swollen eye, according to the report.
Seaman died May 13 and an autopsy conducted Monday determined he suffered blunt force trauma to the head, resulting in a skull fracture and multiple contusions to his brain, records show.
Deputies didn’t give further details about the attack, other than saying Seaman was “severely stomped” by Smith.
