Arthur Vickers, 60, of Welsh, died in an isolation cell in the jail, in which officials said he was confined due to “a significant medical history.”
Authorities said Vickers was started showing signs of a medical emergency in front of medical staff and fell unresponsive in his cell. Despite prompt medical attention by medical staff and Acadian Ambulance personnel Vickers was pronounced dead at the scene.
Vickers had been arrested two days prior on multiple outstanding warrants and additional misdemeanor charges, officials said.
The parish coroner will determine the cause of death.
No further information was released.
