Deputies, along with medical staff, started life-saving procedures until Logan paramedics responded and continued CPR.

Unfortunately, they were unable to resuscitate the inmate and he was pronounced dead, CCSO said.

Sheriff D. Chad Jensen reportedly contacted the Cache County Attorney’s Office and initiated the Northern Utah Critical Incident Investigative Team protocol, which requires an outside agency to investigate this incident.

Per Cache County Sheriff’s Office policy, CCSO investigators will also conduct an onsite Internal Investigation into the incident.

At this time, the Sheriff’s Office will not release the name of the deceased pending family notification.
