Bexar County Jail Inmate Richard Altamirano Dies on 11/8/21

On November 5, 2021, Richard Altamirano was booked into Bexar County Jail. He died at the age of 58 at 3:32 AM on November 8, 2021. A CDR about his death was submitted on November 22, 2021. The CDR indicates in the summary of how the death occurred that Mr. Altamirano refused a diabetic check. For that reason, a welfare check was conducted at about 2:20 AM on the morning of his death. At that time a code for medical assistance was initiated. Mr. Altamirano was evaluated there in the multiple-occupancy cell where he had been housed, after which a Code 1 blue aka medical emergency was initiated. An ambulance arrived and took Mr. Altamirano to a medical facility at about 3:15 AM. Tragically, life-saving measures were unsuccessful. Just 17 minutes later, a doctor pronounced Mr. Altamirano dead.
