Family Seeks Answers After DPW Worker Death
News summary

One month after the heat-related death of Ronald Silver II, a sanitation worker for Baltimore's Department of Public Works (DPW), his family continues to demand transparency and accountability from city officials. Silver, who died from heat exhaustion while begging for water on a nearly 100-degree day, left behind five children and a grieving family. Family attorney Thiru Vignarajah criticized the city for its lack of communication and has initiated a private investigation into the circumstances surrounding Silver's death. The family has raised concerns about DPW's working conditions, as previous reports highlighted dangerous and intolerable situations during extreme heat. The DPW stated it is cooperating with investigations but has yet to provide substantial updates, prompting the family to seek intervention from the inspector general. As the family navigates their grief, they emphasize the need for answers about the safety protocols in place at the time of Silver's tragic death.
