According to authorities, a tragic incident occurred at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, resulting in the death of a Santa Clara County jail inmate. The inmate, whose identity has not been released, was found unresponsive in his dorm just a few days prior to his passing. This unfortunate news was shared by county sheriff’s office spokesperson, Brooks Jarosz.
The discovery was made by deputies at 8:46 p.m. on Sunday, and according to Jarosz, immediate medical attention was provided to the 33-year-old man until paramedics arrived at 9:08 p.m. He was then transported to a nearby hospital, where he remained until his passing on Wednesday at approximately 3:15 p.m.
As of now, the cause of death has not been determined and the investigation is still ongoing. The sheriff’s office, alongside the district attorney and medical examiner, are working together to uncover the details surrounding this tragic event. However, it has been confirmed that foul play is not suspected.
This is the ninth in-custody death to occur in Santa Clara County this year, adding to the already concerning number of deaths within the system. The inmate was initially arrested on November 15th by the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety on drug-related charges, including being under the influence at the time of his arrest.
