Autopsy results pending for man who collapsed in jail
Toxicology tests on a man who died while in po- lice custody
aren’t due for about 90 days, coroner’s officials said.
Daniel James Bryan, 40, of Palmdale died at Providence St. Joseph
Medical Center on Jan. 5 after being arrested earlier that day.
Police arrested Bryan on suspicion of having pictures of nude
children in his car and resisting arrest in the 3000 block of West
Magnolia Boulevard.
They believe Bryan had a diabetic condition but he had been
cleared for booking by a physician at Providence St. Joseph Medical
Center, police said. When they brought him back to the city jail, he
was al- legedly uncooperative during booking. At one point, he col-
lapsed and was taken back to the hospital, where he died, police
said. Police believe Bryan might have ingested drugs before being
detained.
