A man being held in the Allegheny County Jail died inside the facility on Monday.
Police say the incarcerated 38-year-old male had been inside the jail since October 1 on harassment charged.
Just after 10 a.m. the housing unite staff called a medical emergency. Lifesaving measures were performed by staff until paramedics took over about 20 minutes later, but the man was pronounced dead just before 10:40 a.m.
An internal investigation is underway.
