Inmate Dies in Solitary Cell | Sacramento News

An inmate at Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon in his cell within the Medical Housing Unit, prompting a swift response from deputies, fire crews, and homicide detectives. Though CPR was administered, it was too late to save him. The 34-year-old, who’d been in custody since April facing serious charges including robbery and weapon brandishing, was also under a hold from the State Hospital while his mental fitness for trial was evaluated. Authorities say foul play is not suspected but are investigating thoroughly. A surveillance camera captured his final moments, and the coroner will determine the cause of death — his identity will be released when appropriate.
