SENECA COUNTY, Ohio — An inmate is dead in Seneca County on Sunday after collapsing while working out.
The Seneca County Sheriff’s Office says the 56-year-old inmate, from Tiffin, was working out by doing push ups with other inmates just before 6 p.m. when he collapsed.
Two other inmates performed CPR on the man until corrections officers arrived with a defibrillator and attempted to shock him into consciousness, according to the sheriff’s office.
When Tiffin Emergency Medical personnel arrived, they took over life-saving measures.
The inmate was then taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A preliminary investigation says no foul play is suspected.
The Lucas County Coroner’s office will perform an autopsy according to the sheriff’s office.
A month ago, another inmate also died at the Seneca County Jail.
