A 57-year-old inmate died Sunday after suffering a medical emergency at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center near Elk Grove, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred about 2 p.m. in an open housing pod<\/a>, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said, where other inmates alerted deputies that the man was having a seizure.<\/p>\n Deputies found the inmate unresponsive on his bunk and began CPR as jail medical staff responded. The Sheriff\u2019s Office said the man regained a pulse and was taken to a hospital.<\/p>\n \u201cDespite continued lifesaving efforts at the hospital, the inmate was pronounced deceased later the same evening,\u201d spokesman Sgt. Ed Igoe said.<\/p>\n Authorities said in a news release Monday morning that the death is believed to be due to medical complications, and no foul play was suspected.<\/p>\n The man had been in custody since Nov. 5, 2025, on multiple felony charges involving sexual offenses against minors. Bail was set at $1 million.<\/p>\n The Sheriff\u2019s Office said it would conduct an in-custody death investigation. The Sacramento County Coroner\u2019s Office, which will determine the official cause of death, was expected to release the man\u2019s name once next of kin are notified.<\/p>\n The death comes two months after another inmate suffered a similar medical emergency at the Sacramento County Main Jail, also operated by the Sheriff\u2019s Office. Eric Lee Rosenberg, 40, who deputies said suffered a seizure<\/a> at the downtown facility, died following surgery Feb. 8.<\/p>\n It was the third in-custody death reported this year at a sheriff\u2019s jail facility. A 62-year-old man died Jan. 14 after suffering a medical emergency inside the facility<\/a>, authorities previously said. That inmate was later identified by the Coroner\u2019s Office as Donnell Cox; medical examiners deemed his death was by natural causes.<\/p>\n
