The Snohomish County Jail in downtown Everett, Washington.
Around 11:15 am Wednesday, a 43-year-old female inmate was found unresponsive inside her cell at the Snohomish County Jail.
She was housed in a single occupancy cell in maximum security housing. As a corrections deputy and inmate worker were delivering lunch to inmates, the adult female was located unresponsive inside her cell.
Corrections staff immediately called a medical emergency and began lifesaving measures. Attempts to resuscitate the inmate were unsuccessful.
The 43-year-old inmate was booked into the jail by the Monroe Police Department on July 22. She was being held on $1,500 bail for possession of a controlled substance, carrying a firearm without a permit, driving with a suspended license, and possession of contraband in a correctional institution.
Following her death, a morbidity review will be conducted. This is a review of the death from a clinical standpoint and is independent of the death investigation, which is being conducted by the Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit.
The identity of the inmate, as well as the cause and manner of death, will be determined by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.
