(From the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office)

On Thursday, August 8 2024, Corrections Officers from the Seneca County Jail found an unresponsive male in a cell. Correctional staff and jail medical personnel immediately administered life-saving measures.

Tiffin Emergency Medical Services responded and assumed life-saving measures. However, he was ultimately pronounced deceased.

Investigators from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations & Crime Scene were requested to respond and started an investigation when they arrived. The inmate has been identified as a 49-year-old male from Tiffin, Ohio.

Preliminary information shows no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances, and the decedent was transported by the Seneca County Coroner’s Office to Lucas County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

At the request of the family, the name of the inmate will be withheld until family from out of town and out of state can be contacted.

The name will be provided at a later date and time.

The investigation is ongoing by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation who is spearheading it, and no further information from our office will be available.
