An inmate at the Weld County jail died Thursday night after experiencing a “medical emergency” while in custody, the 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team reported in a Friday morning news release.
The news release did not include many details about the incident or explain what was the emergency.
The inmate, who was not identified, had an emergency at 11:47 p.m. at the jail. They were taken to the Northern Colorado Medical Center where they were pronounced dead.
The Weld County Coroner’s Office will identify them.
This is an active investigation, the news release stated, and more details will be released as they become available.
Another in-custody death occurred Thursday morning in Denver. A man being arrested suffered an “apparent medical event” Wednesday while officers arrested him, and he died the next day at a Denver hospital.
