An Allegheny County Jail inmate died on Wednesday in the county lock-up, a county spokeswoman said.
The inmate, whose identity was not released, was found unresponsive during a medication pass, according to Warden Orlando Harper.
The jail’s health care department conducted cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on the man, but he was declared dead at 4:34 p.m., Harper said in a statement.
An internal review will occur and the incident will also be investigated by the county police, said Amie Downs, the Allegheny County spokeswoman.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the inmate’s name, Downs said.
