A 48-year-old man died on Tuesday after spending only a few days in custody at the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle.
At approximately 6 a.m., a jail officer found the man unresponsive in his dormitory-style housing unit on the ninth floor, where he was previously sleeping, the Department of Adult & Juvenile Detention (DAJD) announced.
DAJD staff attempted to revive the man along with Seattle Fire Department paramedics, who later determined that the man had died at roughly 6:30 a.m.
