According to a source, Fawcett's family was expected to ask for Redmond to be released from jail when they thought the 62-year-old actress was near death, but the LAPD earlier this week said no such request had been made and Redmond O'Neal had yet to receive a temporary discharge.
⿿As of right now, there has been no request to release Redmond so he remains in jail, a representative from the Los Angeles Police Department said Thursday morning following the news of Fawcett⿿s death. ⿿He was only released one time a while ago to appear in his mother's documentary.
⿿If they get a request, then it is possible that he may be released because it has happened, added the representative. ⿿Loved ones are released during time of a loved one's passing, i.e. mother or father, only if court approves.
"All things considered, he is doing all right," the LAPD representative said Thursday. ⿿He was notified by a chaplain, and he is still being counseled by the chaplain."
Redmond O'Neal has been jailed since April 5, when he was allegedly caught with heroin at a jail facility north of Los Angeles. It is believed that the last opportunity he had to see his mother was for three hours in April following a request from his attorney. A source close to Redmond said he will ⿿most likely be released to attend the funeral.
