The 29-year-old woman who died in a Bloomington police holding cell has been identified by her family.
Desiree Marie Rosell was found unresponsive just after 2 a.m. Friday, March 13, in a single-occupant holding cell as jail staff conducted a routine safety check, according to Bloomington PD.
A fundraiser launched by her family says she was detained by police at around 5 p.m. on Thursday, and during the intake process she allegedly told police she “has severe asthma and anxiety that can cause life threatening panic attack,” per the GoFundMe campaign.
“Our family didn’t hear anything throughout the night, we were expecting a call in the morning to hear from her, instead at 5:30 AM, we were informed that she has passed away,” her family continues. “After finally finding the coroner did we receive a accurate time of death of about 2:43 AM.”…
