SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A Bexar County jail inmate died Saturday afternoon at a San Antonio hospital, according to the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Reyes Antonio Chaires Jr., 44, was pronounced dead at 4:38 p.m. Saturday. He had been transported by ambulance and admitted to the hospital on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Chaires was booked into the Bexar County jail on June 3, 2026, on a charge of possession of a controlled substance. He was originally arrested by the San Antonio Police Department.<\/p>\n
His cause of death will be determined by the Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office, though BCSO said they believe detoxing may have been a contributing factor.<\/p>\n
The Castle Hills Police Department is leading the death investigation. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards has been notified, per state requirements.<\/p>\n
Separately, the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office Internal Affairs Unit is conducting a concurrent administrative investigation.<\/p>\n
