San Diego County records 10th jail death this year

A 64-year-old man in San Diego County jail was found dead early Wednesday morning, the Sheriff’s Department announced, extending what has become the deadliest spate of in-custody fatalities in decades.

The deceased man, who was not publicly identified because the family has yet to be notified of the death, is the 10th person to die in San Diego County custody this year. “Every death is a tragedy and our condolences go out to the family and all of those affected by this death,” the statement read. “A sheriff’s family liaison officer has been assigned to notify family members of his passing.”

Researchers defined “excess deaths” as those that occurred above what would be expected based on a standardized population of jail systems in the state’s 12 most populated counties. Gore took issue with the national standard in reporting the jail-mortality rate by average daily population, which showed the annual death rate was 245 per 100,000 inmates in the 10 years ending in 2018.

The newspaper series also prompted state lawmakers to order an audit of San Diego County jail deaths and practices — a seven-month review that was released Feb. 3, the same day Gore retired in the middle of his term.
