An inmate died in his cell Friday in the El Paso County jail, the second inmate to die at the jail in just over a week.
At about 4 p.m. the man was found “unresponsive” at a desk in his assigned cell, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. Resuscitative measures were initiated by jail staff and medical responders with the Colorado Springs Fire Department, but the man could not be revived.
On March 17, an inmate, a woman, was found unresponsive inside her cell in the jail. Medical measures were taken but she, too, was pronounced dead in the jail.
