PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Detectives are investigating the death of an inmate at Pinellas County Jail on Wednesday.

David Egle, 64, was found unresponsive in his cell around 8:50 a.m. Deputies and medical staff performed life-saving procedures on him until paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead at 8:59 a.m.

Egle was originally booked into jail on September 1st.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
