A Kansas inmate reportedly stabbed to death by his cellmate allegedly laid dead in his cell for "two whole days" before anyone noticed, according to family members.

Brooks Vonthaer, 40, died from "blunt trauma and stab wounds," according to a copy of his death certificate obtained by the Topeka Capital-Journal. However, the certificate stated he suffered the injuries on October 20, 2024, two days before he was found dead by jail authorities.
