Jail Death Under Investigation | Milwaukee News

A 45-year-old man, Kourtney L. Edwards, died in custody at the Milwaukee County Jail after being brought in by West Allis police on alcohol-related charges — including two DUIs. Though jail staff had already flagged his condition and prepared to transport him to the hospital, he was pronounced dead at 9:30 AM. The Medical Examiner’s Office has labeled the cause “undetermined,” citing pending toxicology results, and the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating — turning what could have been a routine arrest into a high-stakes probe over how and why someone died while in police custody.
