Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
Deceased was arrested for drug possession, evaluated in jail by medical staff and self admitted to being a
daily user of Heroin. Deceased was placed in an isolation cell after medical evaluation and checked on
according to jail policy. Deceased was found to be vomiting periodically (believed to be from Heroin withdrawl)
and again was evaluated by medical staff. Deceased was later found unresponsive and aid administered by
staff and EMS. Deceased was transported to local hospital and pronounced deceased. An autopsy was
ordered by JP 4 L.Dunne. Results were later received with the results being a natural death due to
Hypertensive cardiovascular disease. It was noted in the report that Hypertension increases the pressure that
the heart must pump against, increasing the demand for oxygen and nutrients, and a heart that is enlarged by
chronic high blood pressure is at an increased risk of abnormal rhythms, and thus, sudden death.
Furthermore, if the decedent was experiencing heroin withdrawl, the physiologic stress from that condition
may have been a risk factor for stressing his already compromised heart.
