Man facing attempted murder charge dies in Jefferson County Jail
An inmate at the Jefferson County Jail died Tuesday in the downtown lockup.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Clarence Cedric Fuller. He was 40.
Fuller was found unresponsive at 1:45 a.m. Tuesday inside his private cell on the jail’s medical floor. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 2:45 a.m.
Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said the autopsy showed no evidence of trauma or foul play.
His cause of death is pending additional lab studies.
Fuller was booked into the jail in October on an attempted murder charge after authorities said he hit a man with a slab of quartz.
The investigation is ongoing by the sheriff’s office.
