• Officers and medical staff responded and noted the decedent complained of stomach pain. The decedent was transported to the clinic where he became unresponsive. Lifesaving measures began, and paramedics arrived. The paramedics assumed lifesaving measures and transported the decedent to a nearby hospital. At 7:32 AM of the same day, a medical doctor pronounced the inmate deceased.
