JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A woman in Jacksonville Sheriff's Office custody died Sunday at a local hospital.
Police say inmate Kiara Lapearl Reid, 32, was arrested Wednesday on a possession of a controlled substance charge and was housed at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility. When corrections officers conducted their rounds, they noticed Lapearl Reid in distress, according to JSO.
A medical emergency was called in by staff and rescue efforts began until the arrival of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department. Lapearl Reid was taken to a local medical facility by JFRD, where she was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Inmate Gregory Norton died at a local hospital Wednesday.
"Presently, Lapearl Reid’s death is listed as undetermined pending the Medical Examiner’s Office determination on the cause of death," the agency said. "This continues to be an active investigation, and further information will be released as it becomes available."
