MILWAUKEE — The investigation begins into the death of an inmate at the Milwaukee County Jail.
A 49-year-old man from Shorewood had been in custody since March 14 on three criminal charges. On March 17, a nurse from Wellpath found the man “experiencing a health crisis and initiated
emergency protocols. Stabilization measures, including NARCAN deployment, were unsuccessful”.
Police say the man had a pulse and was breathing when he was taken to one hospital, and eventually a second. He died on March 18.
The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department is leading the investigation into the incident.
