A 37-year-old Oakland woman died while in custody at Santa Rita Jail, the Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office said Friday.<\/p>\n
Kenyonna Farr was booked into the Dublin jail for a court order violation at around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, the sheriff\u2019s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Thursday, deputies took\u00a0Farr to an area of jail used to transport people to court hearings. But at 7 a.m. that morning, she was found unconscious in her holding cell, the sheriff\u2019s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Farr was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and, once cleared at about 12:30 p.m., brought back to Santa Rita.<\/p>\n
Hours later, at 3:42 a.m. Friday morning, deputies again found Farr unconscious in her cell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jailers immediately began lifesaving measures and requested emergency medical services, the sheriff\u2019s office said. But ambulance medics pronounced Farr dead at 4:18 a.m. Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her cause of death will be determined after the completion of an autopsy, which includes toxicology testing, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
Farr is the 76th person to die in custody at the jail since 2014, according to KTVU, but the first person to die in custody this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Farr\u2019s death has been reported to the Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office, the sheriff\u2019s office said, but per state law must also be reported to the California Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 37-year-old Oakland woman died while in custody at Santa Rita Jail, the Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[184,7,1312,723,332,143,145,144],"class_list":["post-223003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-bay-area","tag-california","tag-courts","tag-crime","tag-east-bay","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
