A man arrested in Williams in June was found unresponsive, and was pronounced dead in his jail cell in Flagstaff Monday. 36-year-old Clayton James Thornburg was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and had three felony warrants out of Maricopa County.
On Monday at around 7:51 a.m., while conducting a security and welfare check, a sergeant found an inmate hanging by a bed sheet, which was tied around his neck. Moments later staff started CPR on Thornburg. Other first responders made an attempt to save him, but he was pronounced dead at 8:26 a.m.
Thornburg had a cell to himself and no foul play is suspected. The death is still under investigation.
Why is this happening so many time in this jail inmates are dieing left and right !!! What’s really going on in there?
