Texas authorities have released snippets of Sandra Bland being booked to dispel rumors that she was actually dead before being found hanging in her cell.

The rumors that Bland was actually dead in her mugshot ran rampant throughout the internet, and many people took the rumor as truth.  The police department had actually started to receive death threats based on the false claim.

Even though this video clearly shows her making phone calls, and walking over to take her mugshot, most critics are not convinced that her death wasn't the result of foul play.

Toxicology reports have found that Bland may have ingested marijuana while in custody, due to a high level of THC in her system.

No matter what your position is on the death of Sandra Bland, I think everyone can agree that it is a tragedy that could have been prevented.  The biggest question to me is how something as simple as a traffic stop can turn into jail time, and eventually a death.
