The Family of a Man Who Died in a Las Vegas Jail Settles For $2 Million
The family of an Appleton man who died in Las Vegas police custody in 2019 has settled with the city of Las Vegas for more than $2 million, according to their attorneys.
Nicholas Farah, described by family and friends as a dedicated worker and doting father to his two girls, died under restraint while in police custody during a family vacation to the popular Nevada city.
Farah, 36, stopped breathing after being taken into custody because he allegedly was trespassing at a hotel; a coroner later ruled his death a homicide by suffocation, with methamphetamine intoxication and obesity as contributing factors.
