We are learning more disturbing details surrounding the death of Dametria McDile, a mother of six who died while incarcerated at the St. Louis City Justice Center. Dametria leaves behind six children, including two sets of twins and two older children, who are now facing life without their mother.
According to her family, Dametria’s death may have been the result of medical negligence. Relatives say her cries for help were allegedly ignored for days. One family member shared that Dametria complained of chest pain and was seeking help. Her last phone conversation with a loved one reportedly took place just moments before her death, during which she again expressed that something was wrong.
The family says they are struggling to understand how her condition was handled and why help did not come sooner. They are now left grieving while also trying to care for six children who have lost their mother in a sudden and traumatic way.
As the family continues to seek answers and accountability, they are also asking for support to help cover funeral expenses and provide stability for Dametria’s children during this incredibly difficult time.
If you are able to donate or share, every gesture helps.
On behalf of The New Real STL News, we are keeping Dametria’s children and loved ones in our prayers as they navigate this painful loss.
