DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — Singer R. Kelly was sent to Duke University Hospital in Durham after an alleged overdose. His legal team has now filed a motion for a temporary furlough of home detention.
According to court documents, on June 13, Kelly awoke feeling faint and was dizzy. He crawled to the door of his cell and later lost consciousness. He was taken to Duke Hospital by ambulance, where he later learned that he was “administered an overdose quantity of his medications that threatened his life.”
Kelly remained in the hospital for two days before later learning he had other medical conditions regarding blood clots that could jeopardize his health and needed to undergo surgery. The filed motion alleges that Kelly was then taken from “the hospital against his will and against the directives of the doctors.”
The lawsuit claims that the Federal Bureau of Prisons is “taking active steps to kill Robert Kelly,” further stating that prison officials purposely administered a lethal amount of medications and removed him from the hospital “at gunpoint and denied him surgery on blood clots in his lungs.”
“Mr. Kelly’s life is in danger, and that danger is coming from Bureau of Prisons officials and their actions. Mr. Kelly needs this Court’s intervention. His life actually depends on it,” court documents state.
R. Kelly was transferred from Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago to the Medium II Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina in April 2023. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering.
