Jerry Lawler suing Hardeman County over death of son
HARDEMAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WMC) - Jerry Lawler has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Hardeman County over the death of his son, Brian Christopher Lawler.
Lawler filed the lawsuit Friday, seeking damages for what he calls "numerous failures of the county and its employees that resulted in the wrongful death of his son."
Brian Lawler, a former WWE superstar, was found hanging in his jail cell in July 2019. He was 46 years old.
His official cause of death was ruled suicide, but Jerry Lawler disputes this. In August 2018, he shared photos of Brian in the hospital before his death. He said the injuries in these photos are not consistent with suicide.
Lawler will host a press conference with his attorney Jeffrey Rosenblum on Monday at 2 p.m. to discuss the lawsuit.
Lawler also wants Sheriff John Doolen to make changes at the Hardeman County Jail to protect inmates from future harm.
