A Santa Clara County jail inmate who faced serious charges died at Valley Medical Center, marking the county's eighth in-custody death of the year.
Sheriff's Sgt. Russell Davis informed that the inmate, admitted for chest pains, had his condition deteriorate after initially being booked on serious felonies.
Emergency life-saving measures were attempted before the inmate's death, which underscores ongoing health concerns among individuals in custody and the impact of incarceration on health.
With no foul play detected, the sheriff's office has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the inmate's death to ensure all protocols were followed.
