SAN JOSE — A 27-year-old male inmate died in his cell at Main Jail early Saturday morning.
At 4:13 a.m., Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office deputies found the man unresponsive in his cell and with medical staff began performing life-saving measures. At 4:27 a.m., the San Jose Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services arrived on the scene. They pronounced the man dead at 4:40 a.m.
The man was in a cell by himself at the time and a preliminary investigation found no evidence of foul play. The man had been booked into jail last October on charges for attempted robbery, attempted burglary and vandalism.
