Inmate Suicide at Lehigh County Jail

From Lehigh County Exec Tom Muller: "On Saturday, 6/24/17, at approximately 9:34 a.m. a Lehigh County corrections officer found Jail Inmate Trevor Vaden unresponsive in his cell.  Vaden, who did not have a cellmate, and was not under any special monitoring precautions, was discovered by a corrections officer performing routine rounds.  The officer immediately declared a medical emergency and began administering CPR.  On site medical personnel assisted in providing life saving measures.  The responding local paramedics continued treatment and he was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 10:06 p.m. 

"The cause of death is apparent suicide.  The coroner will issue a formal finding at a later date.

"Trevor Vaden, 21 was committed to jail on April 20, 2017 on a parole violation.  His original charge was robbery."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
