Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
A man held at the Cuyahoga County Jail repeatedly complained of chest pains, according to reporting by The Marshall Project. He collapsed on the floor, and the reporting says nine minutes passed before jail workers began CPR. He later died. Accounts say jailers ignored his pleas for medical help, and the state later placed the county on a corrective action plan for delaying treatment.
