LITTLE ROCK — The Pulaski County sheriff's office says the recent death of a county jail inmate has been ruled to be the result of pre-existing medical conditions.
Pulaski County sheriff's office spokesman Capt. Carl Minden said Wednesday that an autopsy determined that the death of 69-year-old Russell McKinnon was due to heart disease with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a contributing factor.
A jail report states that McKinnon was found unconscious in his cell on July 7 and later died.
McKinnon was being held on aggravated assault and weapons charges.
