The Major Crime Task Force is investigating the death of a Barrington man who was found unresponsive in his cell at the Lake County Jail in Waukegan Friday evening.
A Lake County sheriff’s corrections officer was conducting rounds in Pod 1 East around 8:34 p.m. Friday.
He observed an inmate, a 51-year-old Barrington man, laying on his bed in what appeared to be an unresponsive state.
The corrections officer knocked on the door several times but the inmate did not respond, according to Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli.
The corrections officer entered the inmate’s cell and attempted to wake him but the inmate remained unresponsive.
