After year in hospital, ailing county jail inmate dies [Breaking]
A 64-year-old county jail inmate died in a hospital Thursday, the same day he had been compassionately released from custody, sheriff’s officials said.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested in January 2021 by San Diego police, according to Sheriff’s homicide Lt. Chris Steffen. The Sheriff’s Department runs the county jails, and its homicide unit investigates all in-custody deaths. Steffen said the jailed man was “in and out of the hospital for several medical concerns” in the two months following his arrest.
Then in June 2021, he was admitted to a hospital for what Steffen said were “additional medical issues.” He remained in the hospital. On Thursday, more than a year after he had been admitted to the hospital, he was given a compassionate release and transferred to a different part of the hospital.Steffen did not say why the man had been arrested in early January.
