LAKE COUNTY, Ill. - An inmate died after she was found unresponsive in her cell Friday at Lake County Jail.
A correctional officer noticed 24-year-old Khalya Evans with her eyes closed and her chest not rising around 2:30 p.m. while conducting routine rounds in the jail's medical pod, according to officials.
The correctional officer opened the door and found Evans unresponsive and without a pulse, officials said. An ambulance was called and Evans was transported to Vista East Medical Center in Waukegan where she was pronounced dead.
