A teen resident of Youth Villages, who died last year after an altercation with staff, likely died of complications of a restraint used against her with a contributing factor of bronchial asthma, an autopsy report indicates. But the review could not say with certainty what happened to 17-year old Alegend Jones due to unclear video footage of the incident. The center says the autopsy clears staff of wrongdoing, the Daily Memphian reports. The report also states that if further information is made available, the report could be updated.
