At about 9:40 PM on November 8, in room P534 of JPSH, a physician declared the man deceased.

The Medical Examiner’s results were available for the CDR, and it shows that the medical cause of death was metastatic carcinoma of the liver. After admission to the jail’s jurisdiction, the inmate did receive treatment for the medical condition that caused his death.
