Fulton County jail inmate dies

Authorities are investigating the death of an inmate at the Fulton County Jail on Wednesday night.

The inmate, who authorities have not named pending notification of kin, complained to her cellmate that she felt dizzy, according to Fulton County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan. Flanagan said before the inmate could sit down, she fell. She said the cellmate alerted detention officers who began CPR and other emergency measures. The officers then alerted medical staff.

The inmate was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead, Flanagan said.
