Solomon Spring, 89, was found dead October 1, 2016, in his apartment at The Tradition‑Prestonwood independent living facility in Dallas. His death was initially ruled natural, but investigators later noted he was discovered in a pool of his own blood, which raised suspicions of foul play. Unlike several other suspicious deaths at the facility that were linked to smothering, Spring’s death involved a violent attack resulting in visible bleeding.

The investigation into a string of deaths at The Tradition‑Prestonwood led to the arrest of 47‑year‑old healthcare worker Billy Chemirmir, who was accused of posing as a maintenance worker to enter residents’ rooms and allegedly smothering victims to steal valuables. Chemirmir was indicted on multiple counts of capital murder; Spring’s death was treated differently in that it did not involve smothering.

Families, including Spring’s, sued the facility alleging failures in security and in notifying law enforcement about missing valuables and suspicious deaths. The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office and the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office were involved in the investigations. Does anyone have information about Spring’s last days or who visited him at The Tradition‑Prestonwood?
