The Snohomish County Jail in downtown Everett<\/p><\/div> Around 5 a.m. this morning, a 34 year-old male inmate was found unresponsive in a single occupant cell in a general housing unit at the Snohomish County Jail. The corrections deputy immediately called a medical emergency and staff began lifesaving efforts. Aid units responded to the jail and took over lifesaving efforts but attempts to resuscitate the inmate were unsuccessful. There were no apparent signs or observations that indicated an obvious cause of death. <\/p>\n

The inmate, an Everett resident, had been booked into the jail on July 5, 2020 by the Everett Police Department for second-degree assault with a weapon. At the time of his death, the 34-year-old was being held on $10,000 bail for the assault charge awaiting trial. <\/p>\n
