Authorities determined an inmate at Adams County Jail died of natural causes stemming from dehydration, and that no criminal charges will be filed.
Tyler Tabor, 25, was in the medical wing of the jail when he died, according to the Denver Post.
He was arrested three days before his death for possession of heroin. He was placed on “opiate withdrawal protocol” which included receiving medications, food, fluids and for officials to regularly take his vital signs, a release said.
Detectives investigating Tabor’s death were provided with video surveillance in the cell housing Tabor, but the release said it should be noted that the video recording system in the jail “is not performing as it should.”
About a half hour before Tabor’s death, deputies were supposed to check Tabor’s cell, but that check did not occur as deputies were “engaged in two other incidents,” the release said.
