A 41-year-old man being held in the Allegheny County Jail died early this morning.
Warden Trevor Wingard says the unidentified man was brought to the jail Thursday night, just before 6:45 p.m., on charges of resisting arrest and prohibited acts.
He was sent to a hospital around 9:20 p.m. returning just before 1 a.m. Friday.
He then experienced a medical emergency waiting for his arraignment Friday morning.
Lifesaving measures by paramedics were unsuccessful and he was declared deceased just before 6:20 Friday morning.
There will now be an internal review of the death and a County Police investigation.
