{Lexington, Kentucky}...Lexington Mayor Jim Gray's office has released a document showing the Lexington-Fayette Urban County government paid $60,000 to settle a lawsuit filed over the July 2010 death of Fayette County Detention Center inmate 54 year old Dean Ferguson of Lexington. Ferguson was serving time at the jail on weekends after he was convicted of drunken driving. He collapsed at the jail and was pronounced dead of a pulmonary embolism at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital the next day. Douglas Ferguson and Lisa Ferguson Day, the man's siblings and co-administrators of his estate, sued the local government and others in federal court in June. The lawsuit was settled through mediation this month.
