We spoke with Post-McNab’s sister Annie, who told us that her family is confused because he was a healthy 25-year-old man with no medical issues. She told us that she received information that he was heard arguing with a corrections officer just moments before he was discovered unresponsive.

Post-McNab grew up with his sister, Annie and four brothers, being raised by his Grandmother who they called “Mom.” She described him as “energetic, always smiling and laughing. He loved music, played the violin, loved to dance, sign, rap and DJ.”
