An autopsy was performed Monday on the body of Jeff Mendoza, of Bethlehem, by the Lehigh County Coroner's Office, the news outlet reports.
Mendoza was found unresponsive in his cell around 7:05 a.m. Saturday, authorities told The Morning Call.
Jail staff attempted to revive him until emergency medics arrived at 7:20 a.m. but they failed to do so, Janine Donate, Lehigh County’s director of corrections told the outlet.
Mendoza was being held on $50,000 bail after he was arrested in Bethlehem on Jan. 27 for allegedly driving under the influence of an assortment of drugs, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
A GoFundMe page apparently for Mendoza had raised just over $1,000 as of Wednesday.
No further information was available.
