TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — An inmate at the Pima County Adult Detention Complex died over the weekend.

According to a statement released on Wednesday, the person was found hanging in his cell on June 4.

Officers and firefighters performed life-saving measures on the man, resulting in him being resuscitated and transported to a local hospital, but he died two days later after his condition had deteriorated, PCSD said.

The inmate was identified as 29-year-old Jack Dixon.

Dixon was originally booked into jail on June 1, 2021.

The Criminal Investigations Division has taken over the investigation and more information will be released at a later date, PCSD said.
