she says he was never suicidal until he was arrested for very small charges... and put on medication. right here? yup. that's the first time i met him. last week was tyler's birthday... and 22 years later, he was supposed to be grown up... living life... and making his mother proud. that's the day me and him got baptized together instead -- all this mom has... are memories. he was just my love. i mean he was my first baby. there's nothing like the feeling of losing your kid. i don't know how to deal with it. on june 16, 2016 tyler worley killed himself... with a sheet in his jail cell. he was on suicide watch, but that didn't stop him. the coroner said that you can pass within 3 minutes if you hang yourself i blame them for my son's death. mom says she didn't find out until the next

too late. her son was already gone. it's a 30 minute ride to umc. i could have met him there. and it was really hard for my kids. according to the coroner, inmates on suicide watch are supposed to be checked every 15 minutes... and that's when they found tyler. but mom wants to know... what about the cameras? the jail has still, to this day, never called me. no other mother should have to go through this. find out the next day dead. i think their policies need to change. mom says her son was not a criminal... he was arrested for public disturbance, and not being on the sidewalk. she also says he would never do something like this on his own... unless it was the drugs they put him on... especially because there wasn't anything else in her son's system. he's a fighter. he wouldn't just give

" most of the flames were actually put out by neighbors - who used a garden

saw the smoke. "when we smelled it, our roomates and i came out, we saw the fire, we could see it perfectly from my backyard, "what was going through my mind was i didn't want that house so close burning.i thought everyone was gone to work or on vacation. i didn't know anyone was in the house" people who live in the house say the man that stayed in the room was a homeless person. they allowed him to stay in the room in exchange for doing handy work and yard clean up around the house. in a happier story - henderson firefighters - rescued a pet dog from a house fire today. they found t dog unresponsive - near the front door - while responding to the fire at a home near lake mead parkway and warm springs around 11 a-m. as you can see in this video from facebook - they were able to resuscitate the dog - with a specialized oxygen mask. he was taken to a vet by animal control for further evaluation. no one else was hurt - although three people are without a place to live - due to th fire. fox 5 is continuing their investigation into the restaurant at the silver nugget casino.

can tell that they did clean up whatever mess was going on there. " she said the restaurant was packed dispite the bed bug rumors...and she overheard people talking about it... saying they had never seen anything like it. she also asked her server about the facebook post and said he didn't want to talk about it. eventually... management and security asked her if she was with the news... so she left pretty quickly after that... but says... it looks like everything meets standard code now. we once again reached out to the silver nugget for comment... and once again we have not heard from them. at this point... we are gong to keep pressing the health district to go over their inspection procedures with us... so we can get a more clear picture of what is inspected. reporting live...kathleen jacob... fox 5 news... local. las vegas. hillary clinton was supposed to be making a campaign appearance in north las vegas today. but those plans changed - when the democratic presidential nominee suffered a medical episode over the weekend. clinton was seen stumbling out of a nine-eleven memorial event in new york sunday. her campaign later said she was
