The latest now on an inmate who suffered serious injuries while detoxing at the Trumbull County Jail.
The mother of Kurt Platzer says her son is now being kept alive so he can donate his organs. Kurt Platzer was taken to the hospital Sunday after jail officials say he was injured from banging his head against the wall.
Sheriff Tom Altiere had said that he thought Platzer may have been trying to hang himself but says now he does not believe that was the case. Platzer was in jail on a DUI charge.
Platzer's mother says he wanted to donate his organs so he could help people.
