BRIGHTON, Colo. -- Adams County authorities said an inmate was found dead in his jail cell over the weekend. Sheriff's spokeswoman Candi Baker said Monday the 56-year-old man was found unresponsive on Saturday afternoon. He was pronounced dead after efforts to revive him failed. Authorities have not disclosed the cause of death. Baker said hanging, poisoning and knife wounds don't appear to have been factors.
She said he was alone in the cell and his death doesn't appear to be suspicious. The man's name hasn't been released. He had been brought to the jail the day before on on drug and false reporting charges.
