LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — An inmate who died in the custody of Louisville Metro Corrections last Friday as been identified.
Metro Corrections Major Jason Logsdon said 54-year-old Samuel Bradford was being housed in the medical unit, where he was found unresponsive on March 14.
Logsdon said officers and medical staff performed "life saving measures" until EMS arrived and transported him to the hospital where he later died.
Bradford had been in custody for three years on charges of murder-domestic violence, wanton endangerment, assault, and disarming a peace officer, according court records.
Logsdon said they believe Bradford died of natural causes and said the investigation is ongoing.
