At the request of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, the GBI is conducting an investigation into the death of an inmate in the Pierce County Jail. Ethan Taylor, age 21, of Patterson, Georgia, was found dead in an isolation cell on December 30, 2023. 

 

 

Taylor was arrested by the Blackshear Police Department on Wednesday, December 27, 2023.  

 

 

The GBI Medical Examiner’s Office in Pooler, Georgia, will complete an autopsy to determine cause and manner of death. 

 

 

Funeral arrangements for Taylor remain incomplete at this time. Hart Funeral Home in Blackshear is in charge of the arrangements.

 

 

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Douglas at (912) 389-4103.
