A Denison Police Officer requested that booking staff contact medical personnel. Medical staff arrived and assessed the inmate's vital signs, which were within normal limits. Due to the inmate's continued shaking and sweating, it was determined that he should be escorted to the medical unit for an EKG, despite denying any chest pain. However, because of the inmate's persistent movement and sweating, medical staff were unable to obtain an accurate reading. Based on the circumstances, medical staff made the decision to transport the inmate to the nearest hospital, Sherman Medical Center, for further evaluation. While officers were preparing for the transport, Inmate Curtis suddenly slumped over in his wheelchair in the presence of several officers. Officers immediately called for medical staff to return to the booking area and initiated a sternal rub while awaiting their arrival. Medical staff arrived promptly, assessed the inmate, and began life-saving measures. The on-duty Sergeant called for an ambulance at 2035 hours. Inmate Curtis was transported to Sherman Medical Center by Sherman Fire Department at 2047 hours. At approximately 2115 hours, Inmate Bryan Jeffery Curtis was pronounced deceased by hospital personnel. An autopsy is pending. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 6
