Cochise County is investigating the death of a jail inmate, officials say.
The 58-year-old man was booked into jail June 25, and was being held on disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing and giving police false information charges.
The man was still in his 14-day quarantine, which is standard during the pandemic, when he was found Monday afternoon unresponsive while sitting, fully clothed on his jail cell's toilet, Carol Capas, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said in a news release.
The man was pronounced dead at Copper Queen Hospital.
His name was being withheld while officials work to notify his family.
